Data relating to <strong>Flight</strong> <strong>188</strong>Typical application:The Andromeda galaxy, situated at 2 .5 millions lightyears from Earth, is one of the closest to our owngalaxy. Andromeda represents a good example ofthe possibilities for space exploration in the IR domain,and is regarded as a typical spiral galaxy.Observation in the IR domain using ESA resourcesdemonstrates that the galaxy comprises a number ofconcentric dust rings at a temperature of close to10/12°K, substantially colder than earlier predictions.Conventional telescopes cannot detect these phenomena,and the Andromeda rings are still largelyterra incognita. Only observations made by Herschelwill enable us to obtain comprehensive knowledgeof the constitution of this type of galaxy.21
