The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula,
is a barred spiral galaxy with the diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs approximately 765 kpc from Earth and the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way.
4 hrs of light data

Even that, too, looks flat.

152,000 light-years across tends to flatten things out

Explain to me how you see these photos. Can you look into a telescope and see these pictures like this?
You say 4 hours of light data, does the telescope use 4 hours of view to make one picture?
I did a skygazing experience in New Mexico years ago. They had nice telescopes but still, all I was seeing was a blur of light. It was a total disappointment.

Yes 4hrs of lights along with about an hour of darks
flats, and bias that you use for Calibration to stack into one picture, then process in PixInsight.
1 pic 2 minutes exposure Histogram not stretch...
120 pics 2 minutes exposures Histogram soft stretch...

Is the thing with a galaxy, that something (black hole maybe) is so big in the center it is pulling it all into it?

Mass Effect Andromeda is inferior to Mass Effect 1,2, and 3

No. A black hole wouldn't be dense enough to command a galazy's orbit. It's orbiting its own mass, from my understanding.
Fun fact I recently learned: Although Andromeda and the Milky Way are due to collide in 5 billion years, both galaxies' halos are already touching.

Great work JC.

And we're on a collision course with it. In about 4.5 billion years.

Plz send me to PA-99-N2. A extragalactic exoplanet in Andromeda, the Milky Way's nearest large galactic neighbor. The lensing pattern fits a star with a smaller companion, PA-99-N2, weighing just around 6.34 times the mass of Jupiter. Get me away from all these trannies and clown people.
