A new composite image of the Andromeda Galaxy is offering an unprecedented view of our closest spiral galactic neighbor. Composed by NASA and international space partners, the image combines data from ...

Striking new evidence for a mass immigration of stars into the Andromeda Galaxy has been uncovered by researchers led by astronomers at NSF’s NOIRLab. The team used the DOE’s Dark Energy Spectroscopic ...

Did you know that you can see the closest spiral galaxy next to our own in the sky? While binoculars and telescopes will offer much better views, it’s still possible to see it with your naked eye if ...

This is the largest photomosaic yet assembled from Hubble Space Telescope observations. It is a panoramic view of the Andromeda galaxy, located 2.5 million light years away from Earth. This mosaic ...

Dots show locations of stars in the spectroscopic survey superimposed on an image of the Andromeda galaxy (M31). Dots are color coded according to their velocity relative to the Milky Way, as measured ...

In a landmark study, scientists using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have mapped the immense envelope of gas, called a halo, surrounding the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest large galactic neighbor.
