The Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31, M31, NGC 224) is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth. It is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way, but not the nearest galaxy overall (as some smaller satellite galaxies of our own Milky Way galaxy are closer). It is located in the constellation of Andromeda. Taken with CCD camera and 1,000 mm focal length telescope
