English: NASA's Swift satellite has acquired the highest-resolution view of the neighbouring spiral galaxy M31. Also known as the Andromeda Galaxy, M31 is the largest and closest such galaxy to our own. It's more than 220,000 light-years across and lies 2.5 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda.
The Mikoyan MiG-31 (Russian: Микоян МиГ-31; NATO reporting name: Foxhound) is a supersonic interceptor aircraft developed for the Soviet Air Forces by the Mikoyan design bureau as a replacement for the earlier MiG-25 "Foxbat"; the MiG-31 is based on and shares design elements with the MiG-25.
M33 is not visible, M31 is modestly apparent; limiting magnitude with 12.5" reflector is 14.5; 7 Suburban/urban transition 4.6–5.0 18.00–18.5 light pollution makes the entire sky light gray; strong light sources are evident in all directions; clouds are brightly lit; the Milky Way is nearly or totally invisible; M31 and M44 may be glimpsed ...
The M31 had a dual-mode fuse with point detonation and delay options to defeat soft targets and lightly fortified bunkers respectively, with the upgraded M31A1 equipped with a multi-mode fuse adding a proximity airburst mode for use against personnel in the open; proximity mode can be set for 3 or 10 meters (9.8 or 32.8 ft) Height of Burst (HOB ...
M31 HEAT rifle grenade; M31 Recovery Vehicle based on the M3 Lee tank; M31 rocket, an alternate designation for the MGR-1 Honest John, a United States military rocket; M31 (missile), for a multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS) M31 is the pennant number for HMS Cattistock, a Hunt-class mine countermeasures vessel
The M31 was planned as a Reading to M3 motorway which was dubbed the 'M3 – M4 link motorway'. It would have provided a direct high-speed route between the two motorways. The motorway was planned at the same time as the largely unrealised London Ringways scheme and an additional section was planned that would have taken the M31 south and east from the M3 to connect to the scheme's Ringway 4 ...

The most famous deep-sky object in Andromeda is the spiral galaxy cataloged as Messier 31 (M31) or NGC 224 but known colloquially as the Andromeda Galaxy for the constellation. [54] M31 is one of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye, 2.2 million light-years from Earth (estimates range up to 2.5 million light-years). [55]
