Andromeda er i græsk mytologi en kvinde, der er datter af Kefeus (kongen af Aithiopien) og Kassiopeia.
Andromedas mor havde pralet med, at hun var smukkere end Nereus' døtre (havfruerne). Dette nedkaldte Poseidons vrede, der ifølge Apollo-oraklet kun kunne formildes, hvis Kefeus ofrede sin datter. Andromeda blev derfor lænket ved kysten for at blive ofret til havuhyret Cetus, men Perseus kom og reddede hende.
I nogle versioner (bl.a. Ovids Metamorphoser) blev Andromeda herefter gift med Perseus.
Efter sin død blev hun anbragt på stjernehimmelen sammen med Perseus, Kassiopeia, Cepheus og Cetus.
I Glorup park står Andromeda i et lille tempel. Søuhyret ses ved til venstre, og hun rækker sine hænder op mod himmelen.

M31 NGC 224, Andromeda-galaksen
M31 er sandsynligvis den mest berømte galakse efter Mælkevejen. Den er let synlig i kikkerten og kan ses med det blotte øje, selvom himlen kun er moderat mørk. Det er den nærmeste spiralgalakse til Mælkevejen, der ligger i en afstand af ca. 2,2 millioner lysår. Det anses for at være et af de fjerneste objekter, der er synlige for det blotte øje.
Andromeda-galaksen er en kæmpe spiralgalakse, der er noget større end Mælkevejen med en diameter på omkring 150.000 lysår.





Andromeda is in Greek mythology a woman who is the daughter of Cephas (the king of Ethiopia) and Cassiopeia.
Andromeda's mother had boasted that she was more beautiful than Nereus' daughters (the mermaids). This evoked Poseidon's anger, which according to the Apollo oracle could only be appeased if Cephas sacrificed his daughter. Andromeda was therefore chained to the shore to be sacrificed to the sea monster Cetus, but Perseus came and rescued her.
In some versions (including Ovid's Metamorphoses), Andromeda subsequently married Perseus.
After her death, she was placed in the starry sky with Perseus, Cassiopeia, Cepheus and Cetus.
In Glorup park, Andromeda stands in a small temple. Søuhyret seen at left, and she reaches out her hands towards heaven.


M31 NGC 224, The Andromeda Galaxy
M31 is probably the most famous galaxy after the Milky Way. It is easily visible in binoculars and can be seen with the naked eye, even if the skies are only moderately dark. It is the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, being situated at a distance of about 2.2 million light years. It is considered to be one of the most distant object visible to the naked eye.
The Andromeda Galaxy is a giant spiral galaxy that is somewhat larger then the Milky Way, with a diameter of around 150,000 light years.
