Giant Stellar Stream
(GSS)
(extensive stellar stream in M31)
The Giant Stellar Stream is a stellar stream in Andromeda (M31),
discovered in 2000 in observation data of
a survey using the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) WFC instrument.
It extends at least 6° across the sky, wrapping around
the galaxy, on the order of 100 kiloparsecs or more.
The abbreviation GSS is also used for the Groth Strip Survey.
