Billions of Stars at the Center of the Andromeda Galaxy

Billions of stars at the center of the Andromeda Galaxy. That white dot is not a giant star.

The great Andromeda, our neighbor Galaxy captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, consists of about one trillion stars, more than twice our Milky Way.

That white dot near the center is not a giant star. It is a spherical star cluster consisting of thousands of stars. At the bottom, all the dots are stars.
