Sharpest ever view of the Andromeda GalaxysteemCreated with Sketch.

in #science • 7 years ago

I just remembered that there was this big picture captured in 2015 with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
I adress this post to the Steemians that haven't already seen it, I think it's worth a look.

It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years.

It is 4.3 GB big! You can use the zoom tool to zoom into the picture in your browser at:
