Description

Edward Emerson Barnard was known for his photographs of galaxies, especially after joining the University of Chicago's Yerkes Observatory. Each image took many hours of exposure. While clear skies in California made observations easy, in Wisconsin, conditions were hampered by poor weather. Although 2.5 million light-years away, Andromeda galaxy is our largest and closest galactic neighbor.
