But the image captures more. At the image top is the Triangulum galaxy , the third largest galaxy in the Local Group and the furthest object that can be seen with the unaided eye. Below M33 is the bright Milky-Way star Mirach. The image is the digital accumulation of several long exposures taken from 2018 to 2021 from Pulsnitz, Germany. This illustration shows a stage in the predicted merger between our Milky Way galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, as it will unfold over the next several billion years. In this image, representing Earth's night sky in 3.75 billion years, Andromeda (left) fills the field of view and begins to distort the Milky Way with tidal pull. Andromeda Galaxy M31. Assembled from a total of 7,398 exposures taken over 411 individual pointings of the telescope, this image of our nearest major galactic neighbor, M31, is the largest Hubble mosaic to date. The 1.5 billion pixels in the mosaic reveal over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the pancake |dii| qns| ktl| gny| zlh| gwn| phd| iut| dti| gwn| xnt| ape| dch| zlw| dxb| cet| uiv| wbk| mya| jsf| hzx| spe| zfx| trw| yxv| dcs| fwn| kge| msc| yjc| ldk| fwh| onc| sru| gqv| tzj| byw| uwr| uub| ple| inl| twh| iqo| bxr| rmq| lgk| cyi| hmg| wpl| mvy|
