Difference between Andromeda (constellation) and Galactic plane

Andromeda (constellation) vs. Galactic plane

Andromeda is one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century Greco-Roman astronomer Ptolemy and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. The galactic plane is the plane on which the majority of a disk-shaped galaxy's mass lies.

Similarities between Andromeda (constellation) and Galactic plane

Andromeda (constellation) and Galactic plane have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Barred spiral galaxy, Constellation, Declination, International Astronomical Union, NGC 891, Right ascension, Spiral galaxy, Star.
