k Andromeda Galaxy Andromeda Galaxy. Composite image of the Andromeda Galaxy M31 NGC 224. This galaxy is 2.2 million light years from Earth in the constellation Andromeda. At 200 light years across it is the largest galaxy in the local group, a cluster of about 25 galaxies that includes our own, the Milky Way. Like the Milky Way, Andromeda is a spiral galaxy with a dense central bulge packed with millions of stars. Here, two small companion galaxies are also seen the irregular galaxy M110 lower right and the elliptical galaxy M32 starlike object just left of Andromedas centre.

Andromeda Galaxy

Andromeda Galaxy. Composite image of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31; NGC 224). This galaxy is 2.2 million light years from Earth in the constellation Andromeda. At 200 light years across it is the largest galaxy in the 'local group', a cluster of about 25 galaxies that includes our own, the Milky Way. Like the Milky Way, Andromeda is a spiral galaxy with a dense central bulge packed with millions of stars. Here, two small companion galaxies are also seen: the irregular galaxy M110 (lower right) and the elliptical galaxy M32 (star-like object just left of Andromeda's centre). Image data from 8.2 Meter Subaru Telescope (NAOJ), Digitized Sky Survey, and the Hubble Space Telescope.
