      Explanation: What are those red clouds surrounding the Andromeda   
      galaxy? This galaxy, M31, is often imaged by planet Earth-based   
      astronomers. As the nearest large spiral galaxy, it is a familiar sight   
      with dark dust lanes, bright yellowish core, and spiral arms traced by   
      clouds of bright blue stars. A mosaic of well-exposed broad and   
      narrow-band image data, this deep portrait of our neighboring island   
      universe offers strikingly unfamiliar features though, faint reddish   
      clouds of glowing ionized hydrogen gas in the same wide field of view.   
      Most of the ionized hydrogen clouds surely lie in the foreground of the   
      scene, well within our Milky Way Galaxy. They are likely associated   
      with the pervasive, dusty interstellar cirrus clouds scattered hundreds   
      of light-years above our own galactic plane. Some of the clouds,   
      however, occur right in the Andromeda galaxy itself, and some in M110,   
      the small galaxy just below.
