Zoom into the Andromeda galaxy The largest NASA Hubble Space Telescope image ever assembled, this sweeping view of a portion of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) is the sharpest large composite image ever taken of our galactic neighbor. Though the galaxy is over 2 million light-years away, the Hubble telescope is powerful enough to resolve individual stars in a 61,000-light-year-long section of the galaxy's pancake-shaped disk. It's like photographing a beach and resolving individual grains of sand. An

What your eyes perceive as a tiny glow contains more than twice as many stars as our entire Milky Way. Andromeda (M31) spans six full Moon widths across the sky, though only its bright core is visible to the naked eye. Through binoculars, the galaxy reveals its elongated oval
