Andromeda is visible in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. In the Northern hemisphere Andromeda can be seen from August to February. In the Southern hemisphere the constellation can be viewed from October to December. The Andromeda galaxy, which lies within the constellation, is the furthest object that can be seen with the naked eye, it is 2.5 million light years from Earth. The Andromeda galaxy is orbited by several smaller galaxies, some of which are visible through a telescope or binoculars. Alpheratz is the brightest star in the constellation and also forms part of the Square of Pegasus asterism. Andromeda is part of the Perseus group of constellations which also includes Cassiopeia and Pegasus. The Andromedids meteor shower which occurs every November is named after Andromeda as it appears to emanate from the constellation. Andromeda is one of the original constellations listed by the Greco-Roman scientist Ptolemy almost 2,000 years ago. Princess Andromeda is a character from Greek mythology, she was famed for her beauty and would eventually marry the hero Perseus. Andromeda’s mother was Queen Cassiopeia, she was also known famously for her beauty but infamously for her vanity. Her vainness would eventually upset the gods and a sea monster was dispatched to destroy her kingdom. The queen and her husband King Cepheus thought the best thing to do would be to chain their daughter Andromeda to a rock as an offering to the sea monster. Luckily Perseus was there to save the day, he freed her from her chains and killed the monster. The pair married shortly after and settled in Perseus’s home island, during their marriage they had a total of nine children together.
