The Constellation Andromeda - From the naked eye to the Hubble Space Telescope |

| mf.subject.keywords |
The Constellation Andromeda (The Chained Maiden) is a large and bright
constellation of the northern hemisphere, listed by Ptolemy as one of the 48 original
constellations handed down from antiquity. Andromeda is nearly circumpolar, so it can be
observed at most times of the year for observers in the northern hemisphere, but the best
time to view is September to February.
Andromeda is a constellation named for the princess Andromeda. She was a daughter of
King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia. Andromeda was chained to a cliff for the monster
Cetus, as a punishment to her mother, but Perseus rescued her.
There is plenty to see in this fall constellation. The Constellation Andromeda contains
many notable galaxies and other deep sky objects. The Great Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is
one of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye. It is a beautiful spiral galaxy much
like the Milky Way. In 1923, Edwin Hubble found the first Cepheid variable in the
Andromeda galaxy and established the true nature of M31 as a galaxy.
Supernova 1885 has been recorded in the Andromeda Galaxy and it was the first to be
detected outside the Milky Way.
Andromeda is associated with the Andromedids (Bielids) shower, which produced meteor
storms in 1872 and 1885 when comet Biela broken up into two pieces.
It is also interesting that the brightest star in Andromeda, α Andromedae, called Alpheratz
or Sirrah, makes up with α, β, and λ Pegasi an asterism called the Great Square of
Pegasus. |
