The X-ray Sources of M31

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Like our own galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is home to many X-ray sources. These high-energy emissions are detected by instruments like the ROSAT satellite, which captured this image. Most of these sources are likely binary star systems where one star pulls material from another into an accretion disk.
