The Andromeda Galaxy, or M31, is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.537 million light-years from Earth. It's the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way and is on a collision course with it in about 4 billion years. This galactic giant galaxy becomes visible to the human eye during the autumn months in the Northern Hemisphere.
To view, choose a clear, dark sky away from city lights. Andromeda will appear as a faint, blurry smudge in the constellation of Andromeda, which can be found by first locating the Great Square of Pegasus. Two lines of stars extend from the square, forming a "V" shape. Andromeda Galaxy is located just above these lines.
The optimum time to view Andromeda this week will be at the new moon when the sky is darkest. Binoculars or a small telescope can enhance the viewing experience, revealing more details of the galaxy, including its bright core and dust lanes.
