Summary
| Description |
English: NASA's Swift satellite has acquired the highest-resolution view of the neighbouring spiral galaxy M31. Also known as the Andromeda Galaxy, M31 is the largest and closest such galaxy to our own. It's more than 220,000 light-years across and lies 2.5 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. Dense clusters of hot, young, blue stars sparkle in the disk beyond the galaxy's smooth, redder central bulge. Star clusters are especially plentiful along a ring about 150,000 light-years across.
Македонски: Соседната спирална галаксија Андромеда (M31). Ова е најголемата и најблиската таква галаксија до нашата. Има пречник од 220.000 светлосни години и е оддалечена 2,5 милиони светлосни години. Снимка на Swift (НАСА).
