Andromeda Galaxy M31
The Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is a spiral galaxy ~2.5 million light-years away (see doi:10.1086/499161) in the constellation Andromeda.
A galaxy is a large collection of stars, gas and dust moving as a identifiable, isolated system under the influence of gravity.
A constellation is a group of stars that appear to be close in the (2D) sky, but are likely to be far apart in 3D.
In Greek mythology, Andromeda was chained to a rock and left to be eaten by a sea monster; Perseus rescued her.
