Andromeda Galaxy
The ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Pegasus V

Andromeda, the Galaxy Next Door
At approximately 2.5 million light-years away, the Andromeda Galaxy, or M31, is our Milky Way's largest galactic neighbor. The entire galaxy spans 260,000 light-years across -- a distance so large, it took 10 GALEX images stitched together to produce this view of the galaxy next door.
