Scientists capture absolutely stunning image of the Andromeda galaxy
The Andromeda galaxy is a colossal marvel in our sky, hosting over 1 trillion stars. Now, astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to capture hundreds of detailed images of our vast galactic neighbor, creating the largest-ever photomosaic of the galaxy. It took over 10 years to create.
Hubble Telescope images combined into giant mosaic of neighboring Andromeda Galaxy
Astronomers are celebrating the completion of a 2.5-billion-pixel panoramic picture of the entire Andromeda Galaxy. The team includes several UC Santa Cruz researchers who made significant contributions to the enormous photomosaic that combines some 600 snapshots taken by the Hubble Space Telescope over more than a decade and 1,
10 stunning images of Andromeda galaxy shared by NASA
This image, captured by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), showcases the expansive Andromeda Galaxy, also referred to as Messier 31 or M31. This image of M31, our nearest major galactic neighbor, is the largest Hubble mosaic ever created, made up of 7,398 exposures from 411 separate telescope captures.
Stunning new panorama of Andromeda galaxy took 10 years to make
Messier 31 is located 2.5 million light-years away from Earth and was a much bigger target in the sky than the galaxies Hubble routinely observes.
Panorama of Andromeda galaxy unveils hundreds of millions of stars
In the years following the launch of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have tallied over 1 trillion galaxies in the universe. But only one galaxy stands out as the most important nearby stellar island to our Milky Way—the magnificent Andromeda galaxy (Messier 31).
