{{current_slide_index}} / {{total_slide_count}} The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest spiral galaxy to us and the largest member of our Local Group. It’s so massive and bright that you can actually see it with the naked eye from Earth on a clear, dark night. Explore Now ANdromEDA source of life Type Spiral Galaxy (SA(s)b). Distance 2.54 million light years. Diameter 220,000 light years (about twice the size of the Milky Way). Mass 1.5 trillion times the mass of the Sun. {{current_slide_index}} / {{total_slide_count}} NGC 7662 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Andromeda, commonly nicknamed the Blue Snowball Nebula because of its round, glowing blue appearance in small telescopes. learn more NGC 7662 The Blue Snowball Constellation Andromeda.

It is known for its distinct, nearly perfect ring of young, hot blue stars that circles a central ball of much older, yellower stars. The vast, seemingly empty gap that separates the core from the ring makes Hoag's Object one of the most remarkable galaxies known to astronomers. learn more Hoag's Object A wheel within a wheel Distance from Earth 600 million light-years Apparent angular size 28″ to 45″ for the ring Radius 60,500 light-years Mass 700 billion solar masses next prev scroll

HORSEHEAD NEBULA A dark nebula in the constellation Orion, located just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is farthest east on Orion's Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. SUPERNOVA A supernova is an astronomical event that occurs during the last stellar evolutionary stages of a massive star's life, whose dramatic and catastrophic destruction is marked by one final titanic explosion. This causes the sudden appearance of a "new" bright star, before slowly fading from sight over several weeks or months. INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS OF DUST Most nebulae are of vast size, even millions of light years in diameter. Contrary to fictional depictions where starships hide in nebulae as thick as cloud banks, in reality a nebula that is barely visible to the human eye from Earth would appear larger, but no brighter, from close by. HELIX NEBULA The Helix Nebula, also known as The Helix, NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula (PN) located in the constellation Aquarius. Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding, probably before 1824, this object is one of the closest to the Earth of all the bright planetary nebulae. PLEIADES In astronomy, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier 45 or M45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky.
