Details:
In this picture, the Andromedagalax is clearly visible in the top left of the picture. What we see of it is how it looked for just over 2.5 million years ago. It is so far from us that it takes more than 2.5 million years for the light from it to reaching us.
We on our planet Earth in our solar system are part of the galaxy the Milky Way, what you see as someone have poured sugarcane in a rim over the image.
Andromeda is the galaxy closest to our own galaxy. It is also almost twice as big as the Milky Way. If you could go from one end to the other at the speed of light, then it would take about 200 thousand years to cross the galaxy ... it makes you realize that the cosmos is incomprehensible!
All of these stars that appear in the picture are a sun, many with planets in circulation around, just like our own sun. The universe is incomprehensibly large and we are microscopically small in this fascinating and fantasy-inspiring world.
There are some small invisible galaxies in our own galaxy "the *Milky Way", but I haven't make a note about these when I mention Andromeda, as we can see weakly a really starry night!
The picture is taken in Moskosel Swedish Lapland around midnight on 29-30 October 2017.
Regards MagnuM.
