Description

Our beloved neighbor .

From the white desert in Egypt.

The Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is a spectacular large galaxy and close to the Milky Way. This image shows the dust in the spiral arms, and the different populations of stars in the core of the galaxy (population I, yellower stars) and in the outer spiral arms (bluer stars, population II). The long angular length of the galaxy shown here is about 6 times the angular diameter of the full Moon.
