Its story
44 Andromedae burns 170 light-years away, in a region of sky steeped in legend: Andromeda, the chained princess held aloft between Cassiopeia and Pegasus. It is an F-type dwarf, yellow-white and somewhat hotter than the Sun. Not far from its place hangs the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, neighbour to the Milky Way and one of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye.
