WISE Infrared Andromeda
Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech / UCLA Explanation: This sharp, wide-field view features
infrared light from the spiral
Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Dust heated by Andromeda's young stars is shown in yellow and red, while its older population of stars appears as a bluish haze. The false-color skyscape is a mosaic of images from NASA's new
Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. With over twice the diameter of our Milky Way, Andromeda is the largest galaxy in
the local group.
