Summary
| Description | This image by the Hubble Space Telescope shows a double-nucleus at the core of the Andromeda galaxy. The dual core may be the result of a "cannibalization" of another galaxy by Andromeda. The two peaks of illumination are separated by 5 light years, and the entire image shows an area 40 light years in width. The actual centre of the Andromeda galaxy lies at the fainter of the two glows. |
