M31 Andromeda Panorama in HaRGB | 2 Pane

Our largest sister galaxy, distanced 2.5 million L/Y away from Earth, is bright enough to be seen on a fairly dark night with the naked eye. Her name derives from the constellation in which we view it from Earth, Andromeda, the princess who became Perseus' wife, as told in Greek mythology.
The large galaxy is home to an estimate of a trillion stars, with a bright mass-filled center and spanning ~120,000 L/Y in diameter.

While it seems peaceful from afar, Andromeda is advancing toward our own Milky Way galaxy at a pace of around 110 Km per second, meaning the two will collide in about 4 billion years and continue to do so for another 2 billion years, until forming a new combined galaxy entirely.
The fate of our own solar system, our Sun and Earth, is unknown.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

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.
