It is 1.5 billion pixels in size, and is the largest image ever taken by the telescope. [1] At the time of its release to the public, the image was one of the largest ever ...
The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy and is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It was originally named the Andromeda Nebula and is cataloged as Messier 31 , M31 , and NGC 224 . Andromeda has a D 25 isophotal diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs (152,000 light-years ) [ 8 ] and is approximately 765 kpc (2.5 million light-years ...
Hubble's results for Andromeda were not formally published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal until 1929. [29] Hubble's classification scheme. Hubble's findings fundamentally changed the scientific view of the universe. Supporters state that Hubble's discovery of nebulae outside of our galaxy helped pave the way for future astronomers. [30]
