Zooming In on the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Gigapixels of Andromeda, is a 2015 composite photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy produced by the Hubble Space Telescope. 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 ...
NASA recently released images of the Andromeda galaxy, an empire of stars, that is the Milky Way galaxy's closest neighbor. This photo shows the Milky Way as seen from Black Balsam, mountain range ...
The most famous deep-sky object in Andromeda is the spiral galaxy cataloged as Messier 31 (M31) or NGC 224 but known colloquially as the Andromeda Galaxy for the constellation. [54] M31 is one of the most distant objects visible to the naked eye, 2.2 million light-years from Earth (estimates range up to 2.5 million light-years). [55]
NGC 206 is the richest and most conspicuous star cloud in the Andromeda Galaxy, and is one of the largest and brightest star-forming regions in the Local Group. [2] It contains more than 300 stars brighter than M b =−3.6. [3] It was originally identified by Edwin Hubble as a star cluster but today, due to its size, it is classified as an OB ...
NGC 828 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Andromeda. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 5200 ± 17 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 250.2 ± 17.5 Mly (76.70 ± 5.37 Mpc). [1] Additionally, three non-redshift measurements give a distance of 223.52 ± 7.06 Mly (68.533 ± 2.165 Mpc). [2]
