The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a barred spiral galaxy with diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs, which is approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth. The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way. It truly is a wonder to behold, especially through a telescope! Celebrating the era of over-optimistic fantasy space travel from the early and mid-20th century, Anderson Design Group poster artists have created this energetic original fantasy illustration and space art of a couple enjoying a galactic sight-seeing cruise. The perfect addition to your home or office decor, this hand-rendered design and space travel art rendition will look great as an art print, poster, notecard, postcard, metal sign, canvas, or mini canvas.
