The (, also known as '''Messier 31''', '''M31''', or '''NGC 224'''; older texts often called it the ''Great'' ''Andromeda''
''Nebula'' ) is a
Spiral Galaxy approximately 2.5 million
Light-year s away in the
Constellation Andromeda . It is the nearest
Spiral Galaxy to our own, the
Milky Way .
2006 estimates put the mass of the Milky Way to be ~80% of the mass of Andromeda, which is estimated to be 7.1
Solar Mass es.
