  Andromeda Galaxy
Andromeda can be seen by Human eyes from Earth without a telescope as a "little cloud" (see Akira Fujii's photo to better relate the galaxy's location to the brightest stars of Constellation Andromeda).
Andromeda has a bright disk that is now believed to span as much as 228,000 ly in width (Chapman et al, 2005).
Andromeda's satellite (or "companion") galaxies include M32 and M110, two bright dwarf elliptical galaxies that are the brightest of a swarm of smaller companions.

 Andromeda galaxy (M31)
Andromeda is frequently referred to as M31 since it is the 31st object on Messier's list of diffuse sky objects.
The Andromeda Galaxy is in notable interaction with its companion M32, which is apparently responsible for a considerable amount of disturbance in the spiral structure of M31.
In the second case, the duplicity of Andromeda's nucleus would be an illusion causes by a dark dust cloud obstructing parts of a single nucleus in the center of M31.

The Soul (Andromeda) must descend through the planes from the spiritual to the physical (represented by a rock in the sea).
Andromeda is freed from the rock by Perseus (the triad of the Higher Self).
Returning home Perseus finds Andromeda (the Soul) chained to the rock (of the physical body) and frees her by killing the sea monster (the desires of the astral plane).

 UCSC astronomers describe dwarf galaxies; 01-11-99
Eva Grebel, a Hubble postdoctoral fellow, and Raja Guhathakurta, an associate professor of astronomy and astrophysics, confirmed earlier suspicions that the newly discovered galaxies are companions of the Andromeda spiral galaxy.
The Pegasus dwarf galaxy (center) is a companion of the Andromeda spiral galaxy, approximately 2.5 million light-years from the sun.
Independently, an American group based at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona found two dwarf galaxies in the same region, which they named Andromeda V (And V) and Andromeda VI (And VI) due to their proximity to the Andromeda galaxy.

 Andromeda Class Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Andromeda class project began in 2370 after it was discovered that conventional warp drive systems "pollute." Starfleet began research into developing a warp drive system that was not only efficient and fast, but clean.
This has been achieved by altering the pylons and nacelles so that the nacelles themselves have Z+/- movement (the X axis is the width axis, the Y axis is the height axis, and the Z axis is the depth axis).
The Andromeda design team at Zeddmore IV came up with an ingenious solution -- swappable saucer sections, in the shape of 30° mission-specific modules that can be removed and replaced as each mission requires.

In August 1885 a star that brightened to magnitude 6 was seen in the nucleus of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) situated at 00 43 +41 16.
If S Andromedae was an ordinary rapid nova which dims through 13 magnitudes, it had to fade from magnitude 6 to magnitude 19 or dimmer.
100 years after S Andromedae appeared Robert A Fesen and his colleagues succeeded in 1985 in photographing the remnant of S Andromedae by means of a CCD and the 4 metre telescope of Kitt Peak.

Andromeda (also known as M31) is the most massive galaxy in the Local Group and is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light in the night sky.
Peg dSph and Cas dSph are farther from Andromeda than its other known companion galaxies, but are probably still bound to it by gravity, said Guhathakurta.
The gravitational field of the massive Andromeda galaxy may have stripped the star-forming gases from these companion galaxies, said Guhathakurta.

Climb a thin crack right of ledge (VI) to roof, and from a peg in place traverse left to gain a groove left of roof (VI).
Climb this to base of the wide crack (original pitch 4) and belay 5m higher, on the left by a peg (15m).
Some excellent climbing leads to just below the final pitch of Andromeda, followed by a rather disappointing traverse to base of the final Olympian chimney which is taken to the top.

Among the retinue of the Andromeda Galaxy are: M32, M110, the fainter and more faraway NGCs 147 and 185, the very faint systems And I, And II, And III, and possibly And IV, And V, And VI (the Pegasus Dwarf), and And VII (the Cassiopeia Dwarf).
The third-largest galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), may or may not be an outlying gravitationally-bound companion of M31, but has itself probably the dwarf LGS 3 as a satellite.

A dwarf spheroidal galaxy, discovered in 1998 in the constellation Pegasus, that is a small, newly-recognized member of the Local Group.
Also known as Andromeda VI, because it is probably a satellite companion of the Andromeda Galaxy and the sixth such to be found, the Pegasus Dwarf is almost hidden in the glare of relatively bright foreground stars in our own Milky Way.
The absence of young and intermediate-age stars in Peg dSph, and another recently-found satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Cassiopeia Dwarf, suggests they have been stripped of star-forming gas by Andromeda's gravitational field.

Andromeda was the daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia; Cassiopeia was unwise enough to boast that her daughter was more beautiful than the sea nymphs and thereby caused very grave offense to the sea king, Neptune, who sent a monster to ravage Cepheus's kingdom.
