Andromeda, galaxies and Enticing empire of stars

'Enticing empire of stars:' See Andromeda galaxy in newly released NASA images
About 100 years after astronomer Edwin Hubble's discovered the "magnificent" spiral nebula, the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA scientists have produced the most comprehensive survey of the Andromeda galaxy, or Messier 31. The Andromeda galaxy is approximately 2.5 million light-years away from the Milky Way.
