WISE Infrared Andromeda
This is a beautiful picture of what appears to be a swirling bunch of stars maybe a Galaxy. In the description of the picture we find out that this was taken using infrared light from the Galaxy of Andromeda Galaxy or M31. Other wise known as the princess. The young stars are yellow and red and the bluish ones would be the older stars. The picture is helped to make easier to see with false coloring, because with infrared light we can not see it with our eyes so scientists have to color is in using fake colors. This Galaxy is so large that it is over twice the diameter of the MIlky Way.
With this picture we are more able to see more stars and things that may be behind this Galaxy because of the Infrared light.
