Here’s my latest attempt at our closest galactic neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. I waited too long to even begin so I was getting light pollution. 🤷‍♂️ I’ll just try it again later in the summer!

What Is Direct Collapse to a Black Hole and How Does It Work? Direct collapse to a black hole is when a massive star collapses into a black hole without producing a bright supernova. It works because the imploding core cannot power a strong explosion, most of the energy leaves as neutrinos, and the outer layers largely fall back or are only gently ejected. Astronomers infer these events when a star brightens in infrared light from heated dust, then disappears with no supernova seen.

Some stars skip the supernova and plunge straight into black holes. Curious how a direct collapse happens and what it looks like in infrared? Dive in and tell us your biggest question! #AndromedaGalaxy #Astrophysics #BlackHoles #InfraredAstronomy #Supernovae

Constellations Andromeda at bottom right and Cassiopeia upper left, and Andromeda galaxy between them.

The #AndromedaGalaxy, aka Messier 31 (M31), is the nearest large spiral galaxy to our Milky Way at about 2.5 million light-years away. Find it using the constellation #Cassiopeia.

I've been playing with some of the deepsky objects I've captured and put a couple in some short movies. This is M31 the #AndromedaGalaxy, filled with and estimated trillion stars! About 2.5million LY away but hurtling towards our galaxy at 68million miles a second!!! #astrophotography #astronomy

Äußerste Sterne der Milchstraße entdeckt Neue Entfernungsmessungen zeigen nun, dass die Halos der Andromedagalaxie und der Milchstraße sich bereits berühren.

Die Straße nach Andromeda wird kürzer. Nachteil: es dauert wohl noch eine ganze Weile. 😉 #sfcd #PerryRhodan #andromeda #andromedagalaxy

Making progress!

Longer exposure and alignment with Earth's tilt helped me stack 336 images with 30-second exposure each.

A billion stars in one shot - mind blown!

Hello Andromeda.

Here is my version of the Andromeda Galaxy.

Hi friends, share your #AndromedaGalaxy shot and follow this galactic loop. Because probably it is better thinking these days about deep space and the existence of really intelligent living beings out there...
David, mine today is also from Dec. 11th, 5 min., on Seestar S50

Cold, clear, recent nights allow night sky imaging. More data needed, to bring out detail, but lovely to realise that Pleiades is withing a nebula, new idea to me. Andromeda Galaxy on collision course is lovely. Again more detail needed

Andromeda Galaxy

#AndromedaGalaxy - 2029 10s, 20s and 30s subs, hours in #Siril, edited in #SetiAstro, touched up in Lightroom.

Finally got some resolution on the dust lanes. I'll have to find a lower Bortle area and set it up for better resolution. Don't think the lower exposure times are helping at this point.

When a star dies, a world burns, and a soul remembers light. ✨

M32 galaxy - telescope processed image. M32 is a dwarf compact elliptical galaxy in Andromeda. It's a satellite of the M31 galaxy and has an extremely dense core with a supermassive black hole.

M32 galaxy - unprocessed image. Despite being a small dwarf elliptical galaxy, M32 has an extremely dense core with a supermassive black hole of approximately 3 million solar masses.

Aimed the Odyssey Pro to #M32 #galaxy. Is seems #M31 #AndromedaGalaxy didn’t appreciate being out of the picture. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

I clearly don’t use this app as much as I could… but here’s a nice photo of the Andromeda Galaxy I took from a garden in southern England last weekend that I thought would be worth sharing… #astrophotography #andromeda #dwarflab #dwarf3 #andromedagalaxy #m31

Andromeda Galaxy Captured in High‑Detail Astrophotography Portrait

Ronald Brecher captured Andromeda over 38 hours between Aug 17‑Sept 2 from Guelph, Canada, showing spiral arms ~260,000 light‑years across, 2.5 million light‑years distant. getnews.me/andromeda-galaxy-capture... #andromedagalaxy #astrophotography

M31 The Andromeda Galaxy - unprocessed image. The Andromeda Galaxy is surrounded by a massive, nearly invisible halo of hot gas and at least 35 dwarf galaxies, including M32 and M110.

Decided to do an another mosaic of #M31 #AndromedaGalaxy. Though the SeeStar app noted 1:50 time necessary to do it, it didn’t finish. Here is the failed mosaic. To the bottom right of Andromeda, you ca see #M110, that is a dwarf elliptical galaxy that orbits […]

M31 Andromeda, M32 and M110 - telescope processed image. M31 (Andromeda) is the largest spiral galaxy in our Local Group. M32 and M110 are its dwarf elliptical satellite galaxies. They're all approaching the Milky Way.

M31 Andromeda, M32 and M110 - unprocessed image. M31 is the most distant object visible to the naked eye! It's on a collision course with the Milky Way, with its satellites, M32 and M110, in tow.

Last image of the morning (forgot to post it). Decided to do a mosaic of #M31 #AndromedaGalaxy. To the bottom right of Andromeda, you ca see #M110, that is a dwarf elliptical galaxy that orbits Andromeda. To the left of the bright center of Andromeda, you […]

M31 - Andromeda Galaxy - Odyssey Pro processed image. M31 is the Andromeda Galaxy, a barred spiral galaxy and our nearest major galactic neighbor. It's visible to the unaided eye.

M31 - Andromeda Galaxy - SeeStar s50 processed image. Andromeda is hurtling toward us at 250,000 mph! In about 4.5 billion years, it will collide with the Milky Way to form a new galaxy.

Another comparison of the same object in the sky. #M31 - #AndromedaGalaxy is the object observed. First images from the #OdysseyPro. Second image is from the#SeeStar #s50. #space #astronomy #amateur

My first real deep-sky shot—M31, the Andromeda Galaxy! 😅 Captured near NYC with heavy light pollution, so I relied on the ASIAIR Mini to center it blindly. Can’t wait to try again under darker skies!
