Ibinahagi ng National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ang larawan ng Andromeda galaxy kung saan makikita ang mahigit 100 milyong mga bituin.
Sa isang Instagram post, inihayag ng NASA na nakuhanan ng kanilang Hubble Space Telescope ang naturang larawan ng Andromeda galaxy pitong taon na ang nakararaan.
“Though Andromeda is 2.5 million light-years away, Hubble is powerful enough to see individual stars in this image, which shows a 61,000-light-year stretch of our bigger galactic galaxy,” anang NASA.
Sa kabuuan nitong 260,000 light-years, dalawang beses daw na mas malaki ang Adromeda galaxy kaysa sa Milky Way galaxy.

“Astronomers believe that our two galaxies will merge, in about 4 billion years,” saad ng NASA.
“Andromeda’s core is on the left, surrounded by densely packed stars, moving out from the center, lanes of dust and stars become more sparse, with groups of young blue stars indicating the star clusters and star-forming regions,” dagdag pa nito.
