Gigapixels of Andromeda



Earlier this year, NASA released the 'largest photo' ever taken.  This video shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the Andromeda galaxy.  This section stretches over 40,000 light years. That covers 5,869,700,000,000 miles.  The Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light-years from earth.
