The Andromeda galaxy, situated 2.5 million light-years from Earth, appears to the unaided eye as a dim, spindle-shaped formation comparable in size to the full Moon. However, beyond this faint glow lies a dynamic environment teeming with nearly three dozen small satellite galaxies orbiting Andromeda like a hive of bees.

A US company is aiming for its second lunar touchdown after a lander carrying a suite of unique experiments successfully launched aboard a SpaceX rocket on Wednesday.
Intuitive Machines made history last year as the first private entity to put a robot on the Moon, though the triumph was marred by the lander tipping onto its side - something it hopes to avoid this time around.
