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.
NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory captured an ultraviolet light view of our neighboring spiral galaxy, Andromeda, also known as M31.
The mosaic, with 1.5 billion pixels, reveals over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters within a section of M31's pancake-shaped disk, also known as the Andromeda Galaxy.
This detailed bird's-eye view of a part of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the clearest image ever taken of our galactic neighbor.
This illustration shows a phase in the expected merger between our Milky Way and the nearby Andromeda Galaxy, which is predicted to take place over the next few billion years.
This image of M31, our nearest major galactic neighbor, is the largest Hubble mosaic ever created, made up of 7,398 exposures captured across 411 individual telescope pointings.
The Andromeda constellation is one of the 88 modern constellations and should not be confused with the nearby Andromeda Galaxy.
This wide-field view of Andromeda includes an inset showing X-ray data gathered from several observations of its central region.
