M110 - Satellite Galaxy

M110 is a dwarf elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1773 and later added to the Messier catalog. M110 is a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and is known for its elongated shape and bright core.

M110 spans about 15,000 light-years across and contains a massive population of old stars. The galaxy is approximately 2.7 million light-years away from Earth and has an apparent magnitude of 8.0, making it visible with binoculars or a small telescope.

M110 — Image Gallery

DSS Blue

M110 — blue-filter image
Blue images highlight younger, hotter stars that emit strongly at blue wavelengths.

DSS Red

M110 — red-filter image
Red images reveal older, cooler stars and emission nebulae glowing strongly in hydrogen-alpha light.

DSS Near-Infrared

M110 — near-infrared image
Near-infrared images penetrate dust that obscures visible light and reveal hidden structures.

DSS Composite Image

M110 — composite color image
DSS color images combine blue, red and often near-infrared exposures into a composite view.

The images come from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2), produced at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) under contract with NASA, using data from UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), European Southern Observatory (ESO), National Geographic Society-Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS II).

Special thanks to National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, California Institute of Technology for their significant contributions.
