Sky Position
Our nearest large galactic neighbor at roughly 2.5 million light-years, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) spans more than six times the width of the full Moon in the sky. This image captures the galaxy's sweeping dust lanes and two prominent satellite galaxies, M32 and M110. Captured remotely via iTelescope's New Mexico facility under exceptional dark skies.
