NASA recently released a 1.5 billion pixel image of our nearest galactic neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, and the results are spectacular. The photographs, taken as 411 separate images by the Hubble telescope, were made into this awe-inspiring video clip by YouTuber daveachuk.
The Andromena galaxy contains over 100 million stars and spans more than 40,000 light years in the photographed section alone. You can almost feel the silence and infinity of deep space while watching this video, and you might even have a strange and enlightening experience about how small and insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things; how much energy we waste through conflict and bullshit on this small blue dot we call home.
