Our
Galaxy – a floppy hat of
stars
http://worldtraining.net/Andromeda.jpg
The
galaxy, Andromeda
, is the furthest
object that is visible
(Over Two Million Light Years Away) to the naked eye. People
like superlatives for comparison and this galaxy is also the largest
object you can see with the
naked eye. It is also the oldest
object you can resolve.
Many stars are visible and older but you cannot see them except as
points of light. Andromeda appears to be a fuzzy, cloudy patch of
light, hence our term, nebulous, located
near the easy-to-find constellation, Cassiopeia
. The galaxy is most visible in the northern sky towards the end
of autumn and beginning of winter. The constellation of Andromeda is
simple to locate: a imaginary line from the Pole Star through the 'W'
of Cassiopeia leads directly to it, and the pale form of the
Andromeda Galaxy is not hard to find in its central regions. For more
information.
