Andromeda Galaxy (Lorusso Dario Giulio)

Andromeda Galaxy

La magnifica e nostra sorella Andromeda, la quale probabilmente tra qualche miliardo di anni si unirà per collisione, alla nostra galassia.
Certamente, M 31 o NGC 224 è uno dei soggetti più ambiti e scelti dagli astro fotografi, distante da noi circa 2,5 milioni di anni luce ha una estensione di circa 220.000 anni luce (67.500 parsec)
Visualmente la più luminosa e grande galassia del firmamento, ben visibile ad occhio nudo da cieli bui come nessun’altra.
Vicinissime e ben visibili sono, M32 (la più piccola) e M110 (la più grande) , la prima di nona magnitudine, fu scoperta dall’astronomo francese Guillaume Le Gentil nel 1749, mentre la seconda di magnitudine 8,9 fu scoperta da Charles Messier nel 1773. Entrambi appartengono, assieme ad altre 12, ad un sistema di galassie satelliti di Andromeda.
Situato in un braccio a spirale della Galassia di Andromeda, è ben visibile NGC 206 scoperto da William Herschel nel 1786, una nube stellare di colore azzurro formata da circa 300 stelle.

Our magnificent sister Andromeda, which it will probably join our galaxy by collision in a few billion years.
Certainly, M 31 or NGC 224 is one of the most coveted and chosen subjects by astrophotographers, about 2.5 million light years away from us and has an extension of approximately 220,000 light years (67,500 parsecs).
Visually the brightest and largest galaxy in the firmament, clearly visible to the naked eye from dark skies like no other.
Very close and clearly visible are, M32 (the smallest) and M110 (the largest), the first of ninth magnitude, was discovered by the French astronomer Guillaume Le Gentil in 1749, while the second of magnitude 8.9 was discovered by Charles Messier in 1773. Both belong, together with 12 others, to a system of satellite galaxies of Andromeda.
Located in a spiral arm of the Andromeda Galaxy, NGC 206 discovered by William Herschel in 1786 is clearly visible, a blue stellar cloud made up of around 300 stars.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
