Here's an image submitted by our East Coast Astronomical Object Photographer, "ES."
This is the Andromeda Galaxy, better know to most of us as NGC 224.
Our own Milky Way Galaxy will be smashing into this in just under 4 billion years.
Or around the same time we pay off the National Debt.
The picture you see here was taken with a used lens that cost $25.
It is an aggregation of 270 individual 16 MP images, each with shutter speed of 1.6s.
Pretty cool, huh?
