The Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) is the nearest large galaxy to our own Milky Way and one of the most magnificent objects in the night sky. Visible as a faint small smudge from a dark site on a moonless night, M31 is a gigantic aggregation of hundreds of billions of stars at a distance of about 2.5 million light years.
Once thought to be a nebula inside our own Galaxy, its true nature was discovered by Edwin Hubble in 1925, which measured the distance of this "island universe" by studying a special class of pulsating stars known as Cepheids.
M31 is classified as a spiral galaxy with its galactic plane inclined about 13 degrees to our line of sight, and it is therefore seen nearly edge-on. It has, as our own Galaxy, a number of smaller satellite galaxies, the most prominent of which are M32 (the bright, star-like concentration at bottom right at the edge of the spiral arm) and M110, the more extended bright patch at upper left. Astronomers have found evidence of a massive black hole at the center of this galaxy (as is the case for our own Milky Way).
They have also calculated that we are in a collision course with our grand neighbor in space: approaching each other at a speed of about 100 Km/sec, the two galaxies will collide in about 4 billion years and maybe merge into a giant elliptical galaxy.

Whilst out shooting the comet in the Shropshire Hills I turned around to see an opportunity to climb up onto the rocks and stand right in the middle of the Milky Way. 30secs foreground and 240sec tracked sky.

The Triangulum Galaxy (known as Messier 33 or NGC 598) is a beautiful large spiral galaxy in the constellation of Triangulum. It can be (barely) seen with the unaided eye as a faint small smudge only under a truly dark, transparent sky. It is thus one of the most distant objects visible to the unaided eye, since its distance is calculated to be about 3 million light-years. However and due to its relatively large apparent size (almost as large as the area covered by four full Moons), it has a low surface brightness and therefore it is a difficult object to observe under less than ideal conditions.
M33's loosely-wound spiral arms are filled with numerous reddish HII regions (emission nebulae of ionized hydrogen), as well as bluish clouds of young stars. Many of them have their own NGC numbers, the most prominent being NGC 604 (visible at the lower left of the spiral at 8 o' clock position from the nucleus). NGC 604 has a diameter of nearly 1,500 light-years and is estimated that it contains at least 200 newly-formed hot stars.
The galaxy was probably discovered in the 17th Century by Giovanni Batista Hodierna and rediscovered later in 1764 by Charles Messier, who gave it the catalog name M33. It was among the first "Nebulae" identified as extragalactic objects and it was E. Hubble that measured its distance using pulsating stars known as Cepheids, that placed it well outside our own Milky Way.
M33 is the third-largest galaxy of the Local Group, after the Andromeda Galaxy and our own Milky Way, with an estimated diameter of 50,000 light-years, about half the size of the Milky Way. Some astronomers believe that M33 may be a remote but gravitationally bound companion of the Andromeda galaxy.

This image combines 21\2 hours exposure time from 2020 and 3 hours imaging time earlier in 2021. By combining the 2 photos together reveals a deeper image, the feint gas below the main galaxy M51 is seen extending the full width of the galaxy into interstellar space, which was not visible in the separate photos.
The interacting smaller galaxy is clearly overwhelmed by the gravitational force of the main galaxy, gas dust and stars being stripped out, asunder.

Meu primeiro registro da pequena (em tamanho aparente/angular) Galáxia do Sombreiro. O processamento foi bastante trabalhoso. Preciso estudar melhores formas de captação/processamento para essa galáxia. Neste registro estão somados frames captados em dois dias consecutivos, totalizando 6 horas e 38 minutos de exposição empilhados. Aproximadamente metade dos frames foram realizados sem filtro e a outra metade com o filtro Optolong L-eNhance.
"A galáxia do Sombreiro (Messier 104, NGC 4594), é uma galáxia espiral com núcleo brilhante rodeado por um disco achatado de material escuro, que fica a 28 milhões de anos-luz de distância. Essa brilhante galáxia é conhecida como sombreiro devido a sua aparência característica que se assemelha a um chapéu. A galáxia possui uma magnitude aparente de +8,3". Fonte: Wikipedia.org

The Andromeda galaxy M31 and the Triangulum galaxy M33 are located almost equidistant but opposite directions from the star Beta Andromedae. Naturally these galaxies became targets on a December (2021) evening under clear Bortle 2-3 skies in Kaeng Krachan, Thailand

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
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.

The Sculptor Galaxy is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. The Sculptor Galaxy is a starburst galaxy, which means that it is currently undergoing a period of intense star formation.
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.

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

thanks !
Now I have to return home to the LILU Galaxy 365 light-years away, so this is my last photo for a long long time (of this series naturally) 😊🌠
Nun muss ich nach Hause zurück zur 365 Lichtjahre entfernten LILU Galaxie. Es wird für lange Zeit mein letztes Bild sein (aus dieser Serie natürlich) 😊🌠

I will tell you what's missing.
Is it a trampoline in front, or a frisbee in the air? Or is it a ticket to Never Never Land, with non intended dread of being with someone who feels like a relative, but is not?
I will tell you what's missing.
It's a jump in the air that never comes back as a comet from Milky Way, but rather as hands holding and faces smiling, not as means of a travel trip conjunction, but rather a deep down love for THAT galaxy.
I will tell you what's missing.
Dreams.
