Glass Frame : Andromeda galaxy
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Andromeda galaxy
Andromeda galaxy. Optical image of the Andromeda spiral galaxy (M31). North is at top. This is the nearest major galaxy to our own Milky Way, lying around 2.3 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda. It is the largest galaxy in our Local Group, being around 180, 000 light years in diameter, compared to the Milky Ways 120, 000 light years. Its spiral arms are blue as they contain young blue stars, while the nucleus mainly contains older, yellower stars. M31 has two satellite galaxies: NGC 205 (above and right of M31s nucleus) and M32 (below M31s nucleus)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Andromeda galaxy, also known as M31. Located approximately 2.3 million light years away in the constellation Andromeda, it is our closest neighboring major galaxy to the Milky Way. With a diameter of around 180,000 light years, it surpasses the size of our own galaxy by a significant margin. The image reveals the stunning spiral arms of Andromeda, which are adorned with vibrant blue stars representing its youthful nature. In contrast, the nucleus predominantly consists of older and yellower stars. The intricate details captured in this optical image offer a glimpse into the mesmerizing cosmic dance unfolding within this galactic giant. Accompanying Andromeda on its celestial journey are two satellite galaxies: NGC 205 positioned above and to the right of its nucleus, and M32 situated below it. These companions add further intrigue to an already awe-inspiring scene. As we contemplate this photograph from Science Photo Library's collection, we are reminded of both our place in the vastness of space and the boundless wonders that await exploration beyond our own Milky Way. It serves as a reminder that there is so much more to discover and understand about our universe's grand tapestry.
