Description

M31 Andromeda Galaxy.

One of our close neighbours, M31 is about 2.5 million light years away. It is moving towards us and will probably collide with the Milky Way in about 5 billion years time.

Really pleased to have got this last night. Clear nights are few and far between, especially with no Moon!
