Hello, everyone. My name is Andromeda. I have some questions for everyone who's interested in answering.
What are some of your favorite things in outer space? Do you have a favorite star, constellation, or nebula? Have you ever seen an aurora or a shooting star?
Of course, I like the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, and NGC 224. It was actually named for the constellation Andromeda, which itself was named for a princess in Greek mythology, the daughter of Cassiopeia and Cepheus. The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest galaxy in the Local Group, which also contains approximately 46 other galaxies, including the Milky Way and the Triangulum Galaxy.
I find nebulae very beautiful, too. The Eagle Nebula is my favorite. That's where the Pillars of Creation are, if you've heard of those. And then there's the Eskimo Nebula, named as such because it resembles the head of a person surrounded by a hood. I think it's very cute.
What about you all? What do you like about outer space?
