Galaxies were not recognized as a distinct kind of nebular object until the late 19th century, when visual spectroscopy (Huggins) of the Andromeda spiral (M31) showed a continuous spectrum.
Hubble and the telescope operator, Milton Humason used this telescope to find and analyze Cepheid stars in the Andromeda Galaxy (of course, at that time, it was still known as the Andromeda Nebula). What good are Cepheids? - plenty good! ...
The three most prominent galaxies in our sky are visible to the naked eye: the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds of the Southern Hemisphere, and the Andromeda galaxy of the Northern Hemisphere.
The sky chart included here shows parts of Pegasus and Andromeda at their highest point in the sky, which happens to be November 15 at 21:00 EST in this printout.
Hubble, using the 100 inch telescope at Mount Wilson, resolved the Andromeda galaxy into individual stars and found Cepheid variables. Using the Cepheids as his distance indicators Hubble determined the distance to the Andromeda "nebula.
In 1924 the American astronomer Edwin Hubble succeeded in resolving individual stars in several nearby nebulae, including the Andromeda nebula. Several of these stars were pulsating stars called Cepheid variables.
In 1924 Edwin Hubble detected Cepheids in the Andromeda nebula, M31 and the Triangulum nebula M33. Using these he determined that their distances were 900,000 and 850,000 light years respectively.
Located in the constellation Andromeda can be found M31, the famous Andromeda Galaxy. This spectacular object is a spiral galaxy similar to our own Milky Way. At a distance of only 2 million light-years, it is one of the closest galaxies to our own.

" If you take a look at the constellation of Andromeda during a particularly dark night, you might see a small patch of light that is designated M31 (see skytour - andromeda).
