Is Andromeda galaxy or constellation?

Andromeda is a constellation, but because one of the best-known and most-photographed galaxies is M31, the "great nebula in Andromeda", the name is often used to refer to the galaxy. Charles Messier was a French astronomer who was a fanatic about comets. Most of his astronomical observations were done while hunting for comets. But there are a lot of faintly bright fuzzy things in the sky that are NOT comets, and Messier achieved lasting fame for his list of things that look like comets but are not comets. M31 is "item number 31" in Messier's list of fuzzy things that aren't comets.


Why is Charles messier such an important figure in the history of astronomy?

Charles Messier should not be all that important; the only things he cared about were comets. Messier built his own observatory specially to search for comets, but he kept discovering little fuzzy patches of light in the night sky that were NOT comets. So he made a little list of "Fuzzy things in the sky that aren't comets", and he numbered them so he would recognize them when he found them again. Later we learned that many of the "fuzzy things in the sky that aren't comets" were galaxies, and the Messier Catalog of galaxies and nebulae is one of the primary lists of deep space objects.
