“The Galaxy Between Two Friends” is copyrighted by Martin Lefranc. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Andromeda galaxy, a faint cloud with a brighter core, is visible above two friends in the French Alps. This vertical panorama captures the Milky Way on the left, with stars from Cassiopeia and Perseus. The Andromeda galaxy is our closest large galactic neighbor, about 2.5 million light-years away. It's a beautiful sight, even to the naked eye, on a clear, dark night.
