The map overlaps most of the lefthand part of the table with 800x600 resolution (occurs with Opera 7.10 and Internet Explorer 6). Perhaps a thumbnail could be uploaded? -- Notheruser 21:08 Apr 12, 2003 (UTC)
Added external link to www.nightskyinfo.com/constellations/andromeda. This is my page about the constellation. I'm planing to add more links in the future from other constellation pages in Wikipedia, as I develop new constellation articles on my site. Do you find the information useful?Thanks!

There doesn't seem to be any reason why it states that the constellation Andromeda contains the galaxy Andromeda. Common sense dictates that a group of about a dozen stars 10 light-years apart cannot contain an entire galaxy that is 2.5 million ly away. I'm rewriting it to state more clearly the relation between the galaxy and constellation of the same name. 72.187.185.153 ( talk) 02:26, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Umm, β And is said to be 88 ly from Earth in constellation article, but in article about the star itselft it is said to be 200 ly's away. Which one is correct? -- 84.248.57.66 14:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
This is only a personal conclusion and as such unsuitable for inclusion in the article, but the Antarmada myth is most probably a late borrowing from Greek, seeing as both cultures were in contact in the Hellenistic period (see Indo-Greeks). No mystery here. -- Florian Blaschke ( talk) 16:24, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Is Gamma And (AKA Almach) really "found at the southern tip of the constellation"? Its declination is +42° 19′ 47.009″, wile the declination of Eta And, for example, is +23° 25′ 03.533″ which is over 19° further south, no? User:Mpuron ([er talk:Mpulier|talk]]) 21:31, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
Having never heard of a square degree before I looked at Square degree (I guess this should be linked in the article, I'll do it shortly) Now my definition of a degree is 1/360 of a circle, i.e. 360 degrees in a circle. So I would expect a square degree to be some fraction of a sphere, top of my head 1/1296000, (1296000 is 360 squared) i.e. 1296000 square degrees in a sphere. Is this right ? Suspect this discussion should take place in the Square degree article but I guess it will have more visibility here and I'm sure I'm not the only person confused, Thanks...

Should there be a link to this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda%E2%80%93Milky_Way_collision somewhere in this one? Philip Argy 00:12, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
The technical point about constellation vs. galaxy is well made, but in that case I suggest there needs to be some better disambiguation text including a cross reference to the 'galaxy' article at the beginning of this constellation article. That would satisfy me as I see the refeerence to the 'impending' collision is in the galaxy article. Philip Argy 06:26, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

This article is in contradiction with facts current in the WP articles on both the galaxy and W. Baade's 1944 ( reported in public in 1952 )
For those of us who do sidewalk astronomy, preparing notes from wikipedia should be less rife with error-checking to perform.
Please find an editor to resolve these inconsistances in facts and dates in the name of science popularization.
Science is, in part, about trying to get it right.

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Sidney Hall - Urania's Mirror - Gloria Frederici, Andromeda, and Triangula.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 31, 2018. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-07-31. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich ( talk) 01:47, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
Here, Andromeda is shown together with Triangula - a variant of Triangulum using stars too small to feature in this star chart to make a second triangle - and the obsolete constellation Gloria Frederici. This illustration by Sidney Hall was included in Urania's Mirror, a set of 32 astronomical star chart cards first published in 1824.Illustration: Sidney Hall; restoration: Adam Cuerden
