Abstract
THE DISTANCE OF THE ANDROMEDA NEBULA.- There have been several very discordant estimates of the distance of this object. A new one has now been made by Prof. Hubble, and is briefly described in Popular Astronomy for February. He has found Several Cepheid variables in the nebula, determined their periods, and deduced their absolute magnitudes in accordance with Prof. Shapley's formula. The resulting distance of the nebula is 950,000 light years, a distance which would make it of the same general order of size as our galaxy.
