His remark holds true now, nearly half a decade later. At 2.5 million light-years away, the Andromeda Galaxy—officially called Messier 31—is the farthest object visible to the naked eye.
But only one galaxy stands out as the most important nearby stellar island to our Milky Way -- the magnificent Andromeda galaxy (Messier 31). It can be seen with the naked eye on a very clear ...

It's also great for things that are much closer, like our nearest galactic neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy. Despite its nearness, photographing the entire Andromeda Galaxy is no easy task.
Over more than ten years, the Hubble Space Telescope has taken individual images of the Andromeda Galaxy, which have now been put together to form the largest mosaic of our neighboring galaxy.
