“For the Earth itself is a blossom, she says,
on the star tree,
pale with luminous
ocean leaves.”

M31 the Andromeda galaxy, can be found about 2.5 million light years distant. The galaxy contains 400 billion stars, though some estimates say up to a trillion stars. The galaxy is destined to crash into the milky way in the distant future. Does life exist, most likely it does.
This image, my best yet, is not an accurate representation of the true colour of the galaxy. But I can say the blue colour in the outer spiral arms are regions of young hot blue stars, whilst the orange central core area, is densely packed with much older yellow stars, these cannot be resolved, as they are to far away. The mass of foreground stars across the image all reside in our galaxy, the milky way. The smaller galaxies, at the bottom of the image M110 and M32 just left of centre are both gravitationally tied to the Andromeda Spiral.

Galaxy SOHO (Yinhe SOHO) is a shopping and office complex in central Beijing designed by Zaha Hadid and opened in 2012. The exterior of the building is supposed to resemble terraced agricultural fields of China. The structure is composed of four separate oval domed towers, which have a curving shape without corners, a concept derived from the traditional Chinese courtyard.

The Triangulum Galaxy is the third largest of the local group of galaxies including ourselves, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy and lies 2.73 million light years from Earth. This was taken over two nights in early January.

The Andromeda Galaxy also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda.
The virial mass of the Andromeda Galaxy is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Milky Way, at a trillion solar masses.
The number of stars contained in the Andromeda Galaxy is estimated at one trillion, or roughly twice the number estimated for the Milky Way.
The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are expected to collide in around 4.5 billion years, merging to form a giant elliptical galaxy or a large lenticular galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 3.4, the Andromeda Galaxy is among the brightest of the Messier Objects making it visible to the naked eye from Earth on moonless nights, even when viewed from areas with moderate light pollution.

In galaxy and nebulae
Mirrors the deep and lustrous
Kind of planet
Reflecting its alike twins
Already existing for trillion generations
The trillion light years beyond the universe and outer space
In galaxy and nebulae
Matters not a daytime or a night
The planets distributed the gravity without right or wrong
Flying stones, dusts and rocks drifting without gain or loss
Nebula alternating its light and dark in deep outburst
The instant birth and death of meteor’s collision
In galaxy and nebulae
Every moment is like this life
Setting forth the human in earth
The future is an unpredictable journey
Subsisting in a spacecraft with constant temperature
The heading direction beyond cold and hot
In galaxy and nebulae
Sperm and ovum combining the continuation of embryo
Youth withered in flight
Life a newborn in flight
Soaring further to a deep and gloomy milky way
The difference of love and hate gradually lost its remembrance
In galaxy and nebulae
The countless stars flashing high in universe
Dodging a farewell, separation is beyond the countless light years
Suddenly find one like the twin of earth
A new birth or a casting shadow?
The contradiction of lonesomeness and intimacy entangled in an encounter

M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy May 2025
The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101 or NGC 5457) is an asymmetrical, face-on spiral galaxy distanced 21.6 million light-years from Earth in Ursa Major. At 252,000 light-years across it is 70% larger than our own Milky Way galaxy, has a disk mass of over 100 billion solar masses and contains about a trillion stars.
This is the first image I took with my 7” Askar refractor.
