"Marcel Drechsler, Xavier Strottner and Yann Sainty have together been named
the overall winners of Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2023 for their
mysterious deep space photograph,
Andromeda, Unexpected.
Why 'Unexpected'? Well, it has something to do with the hazy blue cloud you can
see in the bottom left of the image.
The Andromeda galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way, and one
of the most photographed deep-sky objects. Yet this particular photo, captured
by an international trio of amateur astronomers, revealed a feature that had
never been seen before: a huge plasma arc, stretching out across space right
next to the Andromeda galaxy."
