Oh wow, that's amazing! What always bothered me about pictures like this....is seeing all of the stars in the background. Like, this is a whole different galaxy than ours....and there's soooo many stars/galaxies beyond that. Makes my head hurt when you really start to think about it.
It blow my mind too. The scale of everything is just crazy. To think this is over 2.5 million light years away and the number of stars in it is about double the Milky Way. All the stars we see are closer and the galaxy is much further in the background. Just been watching a fantastic YouTube video about Andromeda and the whole space/time phenomenon is just mind blowing.. What a time to be alive to be able to capture and see these things without specialised equipment.. Amazing!
