About Andromeda
To find Andromeda, look underneath Cassiopeia, and find two long lines of stars, kind of like a V. That's Andromeda.

The mythology of this constellation is Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia taunted the God of the Seas often, until he couldn't take it any longer and chains her daughter to a rock for a sacrifice to a monster. Perseus comes along and sees that Andromeda's chained to the rock. He agrees to rescue her, but only if she marries him. She agrees and they're off to the wedding. During the wedding some relatives interrupt because they don't want Andromeda and Perseus to get married and Cassiopeia and Cepheus lose their lives during the confusion. Poseidon puts them in the sky, and once Andromeda dies she goes in the sky as a constellation as well.

Parallax (A way to measure distance in space)
Parallax is the shift in the placement of an object when you look at it from different places.
 * 1) Look at an object from two different locations.
 * 2) Meause how far the star appeared to move, then convert your distance.
