What is Messier Object 31?
The Andromeda Galaxy, otherwise called Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a winding universe roughly 780 kiloparsecs from Earth, and the closest significant system to the Milky Way. Its name originates from the region of the sky in which it shows up, the group of stars of Andromeda. 

The Andromeda Galaxy is otherwise called Messier Object 31,or M31. This world is more than double the span of Milky Way. In any case, it is as yet not the biggest world we are aware of. 

Early observational history 

In 964, the Persian stargazer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi depicted the system as a "little cloud" in his "Book of Fixed Stars," the main known report of our closest neighbor. At the point when Charles Messier named it M31 in 1764, he mistakenly credited the revelation of what was then called a cloud to the German space expert, Simon Marius, who gave the principal adjustable perception of the protest. The primary photos of Andromeda were taken in 1887, by Isaac Roberts.
