The massive 42,208 by 9,870-pixel panorama is the largest photomosaic ever created using Hubble Space Telescope observations. The vast mosaic features 200 million stars, which is still just a fraction of the estimated one trillion stars in Andromeda. Spread across 2.5 billion pixels, the mosaic’s details will help scientists learn more about Andromeda’s history, including distant mergers with smaller satellite galaxies.

Any good photographer tricks to get a subject to hold a pose for 10 years?

In the highest resolution image, in the upper left, if you zoom in to max, you can just make a out a Starbucks.

By any other name, that is an alien encounter

(that should be an obvious hint)

You guys are killing me. That is one hell of an image.

I’d previously heard the only individual stars we can see/resolve (other than special cases, like supernovas) are in our own galaxy. (And I would guess all the individual stars I see in the low-res versions of the image above are in our own galaxy - sort of a reverse-photobombing).

But apparently that’s not true, at least for our big neighbor. Maybe what I heard previously meant with the naked eye, which makes more sense.

Is everyone pretending not to notice the armada of scary, black, rectilinear Star Dreadnaughts headed our way?
