Galaxies UGC 1810 and UGC 1813 in Andromede - Galaxies UGC 1810 and UGC 1813 in Andromeda - These two interacting galaxies also called Arp 273 are located about 200 million years ago - light from Earth in the constellation Andromede. The two bright stars in the foreground belong to our galaxy. These galaxies also cataloged as Arp 273 lie at a distance of about 200 million light - years. Their distorted appearance is due to gravitational tides as the pair engage in close encounters. The two prominent stars in the foreground are within our own Milky Way galaxy

Center of the Andromede Galaxy (M31) - Center of the Andromeda galaxy - The Andromede galaxy is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group. This image obtained from the 2.5m Isaac Newton telescope of La Palma shows the nucleus of the galaxy. This nucleus is double, probably the vestige of a collision with another galaxy. At the heart of the nearby spiral galaxy M31 is a tiny, bright nucleus, seen to be slightly elongated on this colour picture. Hubble Space Telescope pictures show the nucleus to be a double structure, possibly the remains of the nucleus of another galaxy which has now been almost completely absorbed in M31. Around the binary nucleus swirls a huge cloud of mostly old, faint stars. This not only reveals the inner nucleus but also shows traces of dust which seem to stream into the bright central part of the galaxy. Studies of the stars around the nucleus strongly suggest that at the heart of

Hubble Space Telescope pictures show the nucleus to be a double structure, possibly the remains of the nucleus of another galaxy which has now been almost completely absorbed in M31. Around the binary nucleus swirls a huge cloud of mostly old, faint stars. This not only reveals the inner nucleus but also shows traces of dust which seem to stream into the bright central part of the galaxy. Studies of the stars around the nucleus strongly suggest that at the heart of

Center of the Andromede Galaxy (M31) - Center of the Andromeda galaxy - The Andromede galaxy is located about 2 million years ago - light from Earth. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group. This image obtained from the 2.5m Isaac Newton telescope of La Palma shows the central region of the galaxy where a huge mass of stars is orbiting around the nucleus. This picture covers almost half a degree of sky (about the size of the full moon), but wide angle telescopes show the galaxy to be over three degrees long at its widest. Here we see only the central part of M31, the huge mass of stars that are in orbit around its nucleus. Silhouetted against this starry background are tangled sheets and curtains of dust, very reminiscent of dust clouds we see in our own galaxy. This picture was made from three black and white glass negatives. Some care has been taken to ensure that the colours seen here are realistic

Spiral Galaxy NGC 634 - NGC 634 is a spiral galaxy located about 250 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Andromede. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). NGC 634 is located 250 million light years away in the constellation of Andromeda. This spiral galaxy was discovered back in the nineteenth century by English astronomer Edouard Jean - Marie Stephan, but in 2008 it became a prime target for observations thanks to the violent demise of a white dwarf star. The type Ia supernova known as SN2008A was spotted in the galaxy and briefly rivalled the brilliance of its entire host galaxy but, despite the energy of the explosion, it can no longer be seen this Hubble image, which was taken around a year and a half later

It is of type E6 “special” because it presents some unusual dark structures (probably dust clouds). M110 is the second small companion (along with M32) to our sister galaxy, M31, the Andromeda Nebula. It is classified as type E5 or E6, often with the additional “” p”” for peculiar because of the structure clearly visible in this short exposure image, which is probably due to dust clouds. Because of its small size, it is usually counted as a dwarf spheroidal rather than a normal elliptical

This image obtained with the 2.5m Isaac Newton telescope of La Palma. If we could view the Milky Way from a distance of about 30 million light years it would look something like NGC 891. But galaxies that look like this are quite rare because the chance alignment of the thin disk of a spiral galaxy with our line of sight is unusual. A few degrees either side of its orientation and NGC 891 would be just another highly inclined spiral galaxy. From this unusual vantage point we can see in NGC 891 the surprising narrowness of the obscuring dust lane, a dark, slightly irregular band across the galaxy. We also see that it is yellowish, confirming that it is dust, which absorbs blue light, as in the Milky Way. Also similar to the Milky Way is the prominent central 'bulge' corresponding to the rich star clouds in Sagittarius. However,

Infrared view of the Andromeda galaxy - Composite of three different wavelengths 24 microns (blue), 70 microns (green), and 160 microns (red). Using these three bands, we can know the temperature differences of the dust: the warmest are the brightest at 24 microns and the coldest shine at 160 microns. The blue/white areas contain the hottest dust. View obtained by Spitzer space telescope on 25 August 2004. The multi - wavelength view of Andromeda combines images taken at 24 microns (blue), 70 microns (green), and 160 microns (red). Using all three bands from the multiband imaging photometer allows astronomers to measure the temperature of the dust by its color. The warmest dust is brightest at 24 microns while the coolest is most evident at 160 microns. The blue/white areas have the hottest dust, as seen in the bulge and in the star - forming areas along the arms. The cooler dust floating further out in the ring and arms are in the redder regions. The data were taken on August 25, 2004

Andromede Galaxy - Andromeda galaxy - The Andromede galaxy is located about 2.3 million years ago - light from Earth. Two satellite galaxies accompany it: M32 (NGC 221) at the top left of the nucleus, and M110 (NGC 205) at the bottom. Like the lactee path, the Andromede galaxy belongs to the local group, making up about thirty galaxies. M31, the Great galaxy in Andromeda, is a gigantic collection of more than 300 billion stars and is located about 2 million light years from Earth. Companion dwarf elliptical galaxies M32 and M110 are also visible. M31 and its companions are part of our local group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, and M33. The Andromeda Galaxy is headed towards our Milky Way Galaxy and is expected to collide with it and possibly merge into a gigantic elliptical galaxy in about 3 billion years

Infrared view of the Andromeda galaxy - The Spitzer space telescope observed the Andromede spiral galaxy for over 18 hours on August 25, 2004, obtaining 11,000 different poses. Assembled in mosaic the result shows details never seen before. The brightest ring appears to be hole at the bottom right of the image; these are traces of the passage of a satellite galaxy. Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope has captured stunning infrared views of the famous Andromeda galaxy to reveal insights that were only hinted at in visible light. Spitzer's 24 - micron mosaic is the sharpest image ever taken of the dust in another spiral galaxy. This is possible because Andromeda is a close neighbor to the Milky Way at a mere 2.5 million light - years away. The Spitzer multiband imaging photometer's 24 - micron detector recorded 11,000 separate snapshots to create this new comprehensive picture. Asymmetrical features are seen in the prominent ring of star formation. The ring appears to be split into two pieces

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

Andromede Galaxy (M31) view in ultraviolet - The Andromeda galaxy seen in UV - This ultraviolet image is a mosaic of 10 images obtained by the GALEX satellite in September and October 2003. Regions of blue stars, young, warm and massive stars are clearly visible in the arms, where the stars are formed; in the center near the core, colder, orange-white, much older stars. The stars visible in the foreground belong to our Lactee Way. The GALEX observation of the large galaxy in Andromeda, Messier 31, was performed during September and October 2003. The image is a mosaic of 10 separate GALEX images combining the Far UV (colored blue) and Near UV detector (colored red) images together to make a color image of the sky almost six full moons across. The Andromeda galaxy is the most massive in the local group of galaxies, which includes our Milky Way, and is the nearest large galaxy to our own. The GALEX image shows blue regions of young, hot, high mass stars tracing out the spiral arms where s
