Hubble Telescope spies a very sparkly mini-galaxy (image)

Countles points of bright light, stars in the black of space.

New images released by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are of the Pegasus Dwarf spheroidal galaxy, also known as Andromeda VI. 

Pegasus is located in the Andromeda Galaxy, also called Messier 31, which is the Milky Way’s closest neighbour at about 2,480,000 light-years away from Earth. As such, Andromeda is one of the few galaxies visible to the naked eye — best observed in November.
