Voyager 1's 'Pale Blue Dot'
Taken 14 February 1990 at a distance of 6.4 billion km (40.5 AU). Earth is barely visible at center right in a light beam from our Sun. Carl Sagan said this about the photo: "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar', every 'supreme leader', every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there -- on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

The Andromeda galaxy, or M31, was formerly known as the Andromeda nebula until the 1920s when astronomers such as Edwin Hubble with improved-resolution telescopes determined it was an entire galaxy outside of our own Milky Way.

. . I find it impressive and interesting how so much 'stuff out there' , i. e. heavely bodies are named after antique deities . . i. e. Mars , Neptune , the Pleiades etc . .
It already started during the Renaissance when certain heavenly bodies caught the attention of the then-astonomers . . The Renaissance drew hard on ancient antique thought. As it's commonly called , the re-birth of antique mind . . . . so , no wonder many heavenly bodies which caught the attention back then were named after antique figures . . and have that name to this day . . The original Mars . . The original Pleiades . . Since already during the Middle Ages Latin was the language of the educated , no wonder many expressions until this day from 'science-jargon' originate in Latin . . sometimes Greek too. |

I thought that was M104, the Sombrero Galaxy, but it's a different one. The "exploding star" is probably a foreground star in our own Milky Way galaxy, which accounts for the brightness. It's extremely rare to photograph supernovae or exploding stars in the act.
