Spiral galaxy M31 in Andromede compared to the Moon - The Andromeda galaxy and Moon...

IMAGE number
PIX4608836
Image title
Spiral galaxy M31 in Andromede compared to the Moon - The Andromeda galaxy and Moon - This image shows how the galaxy of Andromede is very extended in the sky; visible as a small blurred spot with the naked eye, its surface being shiny, it is difficult to imagine its size. By overlaying a more familiar object like the Moon and bringing it back to the same scale as the field of the M31 photo, the galaxy appears in its true dimensions. The Andromede galaxy is located about 2 million light years away from Earth. Two satellite galaxies accompany it: M32 (NGC 221) at the top center, and M110 (NGC 205) at the bottom. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group, making up about thirty galaxies. Composite image to show how large is the Andromeda galaxy in our sky
