The Andromeda galaxy is pictured in this image taken by NASA's
Spitzer Space Telescope and released October 13, 2005 in this
infrared view of the famous galaxy, to reveal insights that were
only hinted at in visible light. Spitzer's 24-micron mosaic image
is the sharpest image ever taken of the dust in another spiral
galaxy. The Spitzer multiband imaging photometer's 24-micron
detector recorded 11,000 separate snapshots to create this new
comprehensive picture. REUTERS/NASA/Handout
