NGC 891

Constellation: Andromeda

Distance: 30 Million Light Years

Tilted almost directly edge on to our line of sight, NGC 891 allows us a view of the dusty equatorial disk bisecting the galaxy. Similar and size and luminosity to our own Milky Way. Sometimes called the "Outer Limits" galaxy due to its use in the opening credits of the TV show by the same name that aired in 1963-1965,
