Hubble Sheds More Light on Neighboring Andromeda Galaxy’s Halo – Interesting Engineering
New observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope revealed that the Andromeda galaxy’s halo is massive, much bigger than scientists previously believed.
Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, new observations of Andromeda’s galactic halo have been discovered, and they’re massive.
The telescope was able to observe our neighboring galaxy, Andromeda or M31, using different quasars to map out its galactic halo. Sitting at roughly 2.5 million lightyears away, Andromeda is the closest galaxy to ours, the Milky Way, and so can be observed in clear detail.
The findings were published in the Astrophysical Journal on Thursday.
