That couldn’t be a picture of Andromeda though, since that is not the perspective you get from our galaxy. Andromeda is facing us more with the edge than being broadside like in this image.

I’m not complaining though. Thanks for including the alt-text!

Thanks for the correction :) glad there are space nerds.

I’m guessing it’s an image of some other galaxy then right? So the arrow is pointing to some alien planet and is actually an alien meme leaking to planet earth?

  It does look like an artist’s rendition of the Milky Way galaxy like it’s an alien meme pointing at us. But, wouldn’t you know it, it’s not pointing to the right place. :D
  
  It looks like we are half way out between the core and the outer rim. (very sci-fi sounding sentence, but I like it)
