With the new moon darkening the skies, you’ll have a rare shot at spotting the Milky Way, deep-sky galaxies, and even the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye.

A decade of observations by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has produced the sharpest and most detailed images of the Andromeda galaxy. Zoom in and explore.

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is one of the most fascinating objects in our night sky and is located relatively close to the Milky Way, making it an important focus for astronomers. This spiral ...

The Andromeda Galaxy, located 2.5 million light years away, has fascinated observers for centuries. Once believed to be part of the Milky Way, everything changed in 1923 when Edwin Hubble ...

Hubble found a Cepheid in the Andromeda Nebula, using its period and brightness to calculate distance. This distance was far beyond our galaxy, proving Andromeda is a separate galaxy.

A new composite image of the Andromeda Galaxy is offering an unprecedented view of our closest spiral galactic neighbor. Composed by NASA and international space partners, the image combines data ...

Andromeda is believed to contain hundreds of billions of stars, leading scientists to theorize that it could also host trillions of planets.

The Andromeda galaxy is also known as Messier 31. It is a spiral galaxy located about 2.5 million light-years from Earth. On a clear night, some stars of the galaxy can be seen from Earth.

When layered, they depict a vibrant and active galaxy reminiscent of our own—and the information is already helping experts expand on Andromeda’s ongoing life story.

The Milky Way’s big crash with Andromeda might not be a sure thing. Plus, we discuss an overheated ocean, a giant planet circling a tiny star and worms that build living towers.

The Associated Press reported last week that astronomers in Finland have determined that our galaxy has a 50-50 chance of colliding with the neighboring Andromeda within the next 10 billion years.
