Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Apparent magnitude

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Apparent magnitude

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. The apparent magnitude of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth.

Similarities between Andromeda Galaxy and Apparent magnitude

Andromeda Galaxy and Apparent magnitude have 19 things in common (in Unionpedia): Apsis, Binoculars, Cosmic dust, Earth, Hubble Space Telescope, Light-year, Luminosity, Magnitude (astronomy), Milky Way, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Naked eye, NASA, Parsec, Red giant, Sirius, Stellar classification, Telescope, The Astrophysical Journal, Triangulum Galaxy.

Apsis

An apsis (ἁψίς; plural apsides, Greek: ἁψῖδες) is an extreme point in the orbit of an object.

Binoculars

Binoculars or field glasses are two telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing distant objects.

Magnitude (astronomy)

In astronomy, magnitude is a logarithmic measure of the brightness of an object in a defined passband, often in the visible or infrared spectrum, but sometimes across all wavelengths.
