Andromeda Satellite Galaxy M32 Profile in Hi-Definition.

------- Image Info --------
M32 is a satellite of the great spiral galaxy in Andromeda M31, which dominates the small group of galaxies of which our own Milky Way is a member. M31 can be seen with the naked eye as a spindle-shaped "cloud" the width of the full moon, and its small companion M32 can be seen with a small telescope.

Observations made with ground-based telescopes showed an abrupt increase in the orbital velocities of stars towards the center of M32. This data led the astronomers to conclude that M32 must have a strong but unseen concentration of mass at its center. A black hole at least several million times the mass of the sun is the most likely type of object matching these characteristics.

  • This video is amazing....it would be better if it were explained... what the different filters mean.....

    Subhanallah (praise be to Allah)

  • The different filters are just different light spectrum's, Sometimes you can see more detail using different filters of color, In fact There are Some objects that can only be seen by using different filters.

  • You actually think a superior being created the universe??

  • amazing beauty, my favorite galaxy all the time

  • This galaxy will collide with us in 5 - 6 billion years, much after our own sun has inflated and died.

  • Music from Carl Sagan's COSMOS series!

    Great photograph compile!

  • simply amazing

  • this galaxy is heading towards the milky way at 700,000 thou an hour there suppose to collide and merge in some billion years

  • 0:58 great shot :D

  • Who's creation?

  • thanks for posting this for others to share and if I can put some 'normal' opinion on here and yes the andromeda galaxy, so close to our own milky way but sadly still os far away from us and wether Mankind could get there in lifetimes to come?? probably with like a lot of the universe, Mankind cannot reach life like earth planets or stars, but you can sort hope or dream to get there to outer space yes.

  • One of the great galaxies in the universe...
