Description

This is the Andromeda galaxy, the closest visible galaxy if both Magellanic Clouds are not taken into account (satellite galaxies of our Milky Way). This photo depicts the galaxy 2.5 million years ago, since its light takes this time to reach us. It is larger than our Milky Way. The photo was taken during the 10th Brazilian Astrophotography Meeting.
