That is beautiful beyond words.
And the distances.
We can’t go there.
Humanity will probably never tour the Andromeda Galaxy, dropping in to see the quaint sights in this solar system and that.
And there are clusters of galaxies much further than the Andromeda Galaxy.
How mighty are our works.

"The several distinct stars that surround Andromeda's image are actually stars in our Galaxy that are well in front of the background object"
Actually all the stars in this image are well in front of Andromeda galaxy. We're seeing it from inside our own.

Here's my own "standard camera" effort, which I believe I've already posted in this forum, a few years ago, now. It's more or less a "snapshot", by the standards of astrophotography. Well, just try it! See the dust lanes?
