M31 isn’t just an old highway in Michigan.

I have yet another dumb question: Why doesn’t the NASA image processor filter out all the extraneous stars that are not part of the object being imaged?

Beauty is apparently in the eye of the beerholder ... I prefer the Infrared image ... the whole sequence, along with the composite, shows that the “visible” wavelengths are kinda boring. All the fun is everywhere else. A lot of the structure is most discernible in the UV and IR.

We;re looking at over 1 trillions stars.

From this distance it looks like gas.

Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your choice came in third for me.

To my personal aesthetic ...

IR, UV, Radio, composite, optical, X-ray

The fact that there’s anything at all in the X-ray image, though, is fascinating.
