Info This image, captured with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is the largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy — otherwise known as M31. You would need more than 600 HD television screens to display the whole image. It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years.

- Support Insane level of detail with an impressive amount of stars when zooming in at full size. With that many stars just on this picture and even more on the whole universe there's got to be life on another planet and I wish we could know how it looks -- Giles Laurent (talk) 13:48, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
