Description: This image captured from a simulation in Universe Sandbox, shows the dwarf elliptical galaxy Messier 32 (center) along with it's parent spiral galaxy Messier 31, which also commonly known as "the Andromeda Galaxy." The Andromeda Galaxy (top-right) along with its satellite galaxies including M32 are part of the Local Group, the same cluster of galaxies which includes our own galaxy the Milky Way. The third largest member of this galaxy cluster after the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy is M33, which is also known as "the Triangulum Galaxy," and is pictured on the bottom left.
