I've generated a polar view of the Andromeda Galaxy on the basis of a mosaic of that galaxy composed of infrared data acquired with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The mosaic was proposed on October 13th, 2005.
The Andromeda Galaxy is highly inclined relative to the normal of the projection Earth/core of the Andromeda Galaxy (approximately 77 degrees).
The polar view of the Andromeda Galaxy allows a comparison with our own galaxy the Milky Way.
One can clearly notice that both galaxies represent barred spiral galaxy and that the Andromeda Galaxy has a complexe structure related to the gravitational influence of other objects in particular.
Here is the outcome with the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy at scale:
