Do we have real pictures of Andromeda?

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has produced the largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy (M31). Image released Jan. 5, 2015. The panoramic image shows striking details of the bright galaxy, which is located about 2.5 million light-years from Earth.

What planets does Andromeda have?

Astronomers announced a possible planet in the nearby Andromeda galaxy in 2009, but its presence has not yet been confirmed. So this makes the newly found planet, called HIP 13044 b, the first to be discovered around a star apparently from another galaxy.

Can we see planets in the Andromeda galaxy?

A star in the Andromeda galaxy has a “companion” with six times the mass of Jupiter. There’s no end to the ingenuity of these astronomers. We’ve now spotted some 300 extra-solar planets, with rate of discovery increasing at an extraordinary rate.

Can you see Andromeda in space?

To the eye, the galaxy looks like a fuzzy patch. But it’s an island of stars in space, much like our Milky Way. Bottom line: The neighboring Andromeda galaxy – nearest large spiral galaxy to our Milky Way – will be visible on dark, moonless evenings from now until the beginning of northern spring.

Is there a picture of the universe?

The new image, released May 2, is known as the “Hubble Legacy Field.” The image represents the most comprehensive view of the universe to date, stitching together more than 7,500 Hubble Space Telescope observations taken over 16 years.

What galaxy is Earth on?

the Milky Way
Earth is in the second largest galaxy of the Local Group – a galaxy called the Milky Way. The Milky Way is a large spiral galaxy. Earth is located in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way (called the Orion Arm) which lies about two-thirds of the way out from the center of the Galaxy.

What is so special about the Andromeda Galaxy?

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is the closest large galaxy to the Milky Way and is one of a few galaxies that can be seen unaided from the Earth. In approximately 4.5 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way are expected to collide and the result will be a giant elliptical galaxy.

How many black holes are in the Andromeda Galaxy?

Follow-up observations by the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatory added support to the idea that these 26 objects are indeed black holes.

    • Are there any planets in the Andromeda Galaxy?

    Yes there are, in the andromeda galaxy there are about 1 trillion stars. Let’s say each star has 3 planets orbiting. That’s 3 trillion planets. Then let’s say that there is a 1/3000000 chance of being in the goldilox zone.

    How many planets are there in the Andromeda Galaxy?

    Taking this number, and the estimated number of stars in the Andromeda Galaxy into account, there are 500 billion planets in Andromeda.

    Is Andromeda closest to Earth?

    Andromeda galaxy is the largest galaxy nearest to Earth . It is found 2.5 million light-years away from our solar system. From as early as 1612, Andromeda galaxy had been discovered by astronomers although they assumed it was part of the Milky Way galaxy.
