Hubble space telescope takes impressive photo of Andromeda galaxy
The photograph of the galactic neighbor, was assembled from a total of seven thousand 398 exposures taken on 411 individual points of the telescope.
The Hubble Space Telescope showed an image of the Andromeda galaxy, located more than two million light years away, where almost 100 million stars are observed.
The photograph of the galactic neighbor, was assembled from a total of seven thousand 398 exposures taken on 411 individual points of the telescope.
Hubble's largest mosaic to date, shows thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the Andromeda disk, also known as M31.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) explains that in this photograph the telescope took compact stars that extend from the innermost center of the galaxy, seen to the left.

The coldest, yellowest stars dominate the center of the galaxy, toward the bottom left, detailed the US space agency.
The blue feature, similar to a ring that is wrapped from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, is a spiral arm with numerous groups of young, blue stars and star-forming regions.
#TBT Assembled from a total of 7,398 exposures taken over 411 individual pointings, this is an image of our galactic neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The 1.5 billion pixels in the mosaic reveal over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters: https://t.co/lVK7Tkhxis pic.twitter.com/94mXs3dQFG
