The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the nearest large spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, about 2.5 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. This 2.4:1 panorama shows its bright core and dust-laced spiral arms against a rich star field.
Andromeda holds roughly a trillion stars spread across a disk well over 200,000 light-years wide, larger than the Milky Way. It is moving towards us, and in about four to five billion years the two galaxies are expected to merge. Despite its distance, it is faintly visible to the naked eye from a dark site.
