2.5 Billion Pixel Image of Galaxy Shot by Hubble

The Andromeda galaxy holds over 1 trillion stars and has been a key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. Thanks to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, we’re now seeing Andromeda in stunning new detail, revealing its dynamic history and unique structure.

Recent Hubble surveys mapped the galaxy’s entire disk—an effort spanning a decade and over 1,000 orbits—showing everything from young stars to remnants of past galactic collisions.

Learn how new information about Andromeda is reshaping our understanding of galactic evolution and what it reveals about the fate of our own galaxy.

Such a clear picture of something so far away, it's insane

Glad I upgraded to a 2.5 B pixel monitor recently. Worth every penny.

When this light started its journey towards earth, australopithecines were still romping around central Africa.

Being able to see individual stars in a different galaxy is wild. Absolutely fascinating

Amazing .. I've waited all my life for Star Trek type of space travel and exploration and I know I'll die waiting, so seeing these are like taking a trip to where no man has gone. Yet.

In a word... INCREDIBLE!! Thank you fro releasing this image and producing this

[Ravedaze.]

There’s people in that galaxy looking at our galaxy wondering if there’s any life there

[rickhale]

Even at that resolution there's much that can't be seen. Spectacular for sure.

[allanegleston]

billions and billions of stars . nice choice of music.

[runawayuniverse]

It makes me wonder if something there is taking pictures of us.

[KLG]

I sure hope when we pass away, our spirit will travel to these places.

[Oceanicas]

Every single spec of something that looks completely insignificant, is bigger than you can possibly imagine

[ColMitch-xjoc]

So beautiful....I so wanted to space travel, born too soon😢

[graziapellico]

Queste fantastiche immagini mi fanno semplicemente sognare. Spero che chi le sa leggere, ci trovi qualcosa di scientificamente interessante.

Andromeda galaxy with span of 220, 000 light years - it’s beyond even my imagination❗️

[edeymann]

They’re smarter than that; they know there’s life everywhere ❤
