The Once and Future Stars of Andromeda
The Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is our closest large spiral neighbor, about 2.5 million light-years away. This composite image combines data from multiple observatories, showing where stars are now and where they will be. Visible light from Hubble and other telescopes reveals existing stars in white and blue hues. Infrared data from Spitzer and Herschel maps the dust, showing future star-forming regions.
