Difference between Absolute magnitude and Andromeda Galaxy

Absolute magnitude vs. Andromeda Galaxy

Absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object, on a logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale. The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way.
