Andromedaâ€™s Once and Future Stars

Wallpaper Description:

Two European Space Agency observatories combined forces to show the Andromeda Galaxy in a new light. Herschel sees rings of star formation in this, the most detailed image of the Andromeda Galaxy ever taken at infrared wavelengths, and XMM-Newton shows dying stars shining X-rays into space.

Even though it's not the best quality I have searched for pictures of Andromeda because this is the Galaxy that is plowing into ours. A dying Galaxy, wow. What a sight to see. Lovely. Thank you so much.
