Gaby Divay's NASArt Gallery


Andromeda Galaxy
This is our sister galaxy, which is "only" two million lightyears away.
The shiny. distinct stars surrounding Andromeda's spiral disk are actually ptart of our own Milky Way galaxy.
Reminder: ONE lightyear equals nearly SIX trillion miles - that is a "6" with 12 zeros
