Recently the NASA shared the largest existing photo related to Andromeda Galaxy of the Hubble telescope. This is the sharpest photo ever taken. The photo immortalized by telescope Hubble it is similar to taking a photo at the beach with the resolution of a few grains. More than 100 million stars are visible in this image. Andromeda is located 2.5 million light-years from Earth. It means it’s a bigger target in the sky. A mosaic photo with 7,398 exposures over 411 individual points.
The photo starts with a swelling of the core of the galaxy split into orbits of dust and stars to the outer disk and then move away from it. Blue star accumulations show the location of the star-forming regions. On the right is a blue ring where the stars gather. The dark figures draw intricate structures of fabric. These are the coldest stars, the red ones, uniformly distributed and covering the entire galaxy.
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) program produced the panorama you see. The photos were taken by the galaxy in wavelengths near ultraviolet, visible and near infrared. Thanks to the use of the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3 onboard Hubble. The image shows a 48,000 light-year long galaxy in its natural color in visible light, as immortalized in red and blue filters.
