  Andromede \An"dro*mede\, Andromed \An"dro*med\, n.] (Astron.)
     A meteor appearing to radiate from a point in the
     constellation Andromeda, -- whence the name.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: A shower of these meteors takes place every year on
           November 27th or 28th. The Andromedes are also called
           Bielids, as they are connected with Biela's comet and
           move in its orbit.
