For this week's Photo of the
Week, we would like to present to our readers a magnificent photo of the
Andromeda Galaxy. Taken by talented photographer and musician Dave
Donnelly, this stunning shot of the Andromeda Galaxy not only brings out
the resplendent colours of the galaxy's spirals, but it also
accentuates the details of the surrounding stars.
In case you
were wondering, there are actually two visible satellite galaxies of
Andromeda visible in the photo. Messier 32 is visible as a round light
(slightly larger than the surrounding stars) to the left of the centre
of Andromeda. Messier 110 on the other hand is the little galaxy visible
to the bottom right of Andromeda.
