Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Tip of the red-giant branch

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Tip of the red-giant branch

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. Tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB) is a primary distance indicator used in astronomy.
