Hubble’s Andromeda Galaxy Mosaic

The largest photomosaic ever assembled from Hubble Space Telescope image data is a panoramic view of our neighboring spiral Andromeda Galaxy. With 600 overlapping frames assembled from observations made from July 2010 to December 2022, the full Hubble Andromeda Galaxy mosaic spans almost six full moons across planet Earth’s sky. A cropped version shown above is nearly two full moons across and partially covers Andromeda’s core and inner spiral arms.

    I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this as my desktop background this morning.
