Description

The dust lanes in the spiral arms of the Andromeda galaxy extend very far from the central region. Thanks to significant declination of the galaxy plane we can also see the thickness of the "pancake" and observe interesting correlation between concentration areas or dust, ionized hydrogen clouds and clusters of bright new stars.
