175 Andromache is a main-belt asteroid that was discovered by Canadian-American astronomer J. C. Watson on October 1 1877 and named after Andromache wife of Hector during the Trojan War. Watson’s telegraph to Europe announcing the discovery became lost and so notification did not arrive until several weeks later.
