There are actually three galaxies visible in the image--Messier 31 is the big one. The round fuzzy to the left is M32, the oval fuzzy to the right is M110. Both are satellite galaxies of M31, like the Magellanic clouds are to our Milky Way.

Thanks for pointing this out, it's absolutely true. I did not think to list that in the title because I wasn't able to get much detail out of them.
