Andromeda Galaxy (M31)

Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the closest large spiral galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy.

Astronomical Diary October 2009: The Square of Pegasus takes center stage in the Philippine night sky after sunset, a sign of the arrival of the northern fall. Northeast of it lies the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the closest large spiral galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy. Under clear skies and with the aid of a star map and familiarity with the surrounding background stars, it can be seen as an elongated misty patch with the naked eye and can be easily viewed through binoculars and telescopes. The splendid W formation of stars known as the constellation of Cassiopeia, the wife of King Cepheus and the mother of Andromeda in the Greek mythology lies to the left, while the constellation of Pisces, the Fish will be found at the lower right of the square of Pegasus as shown in the picture above.
