Did You Know..
... the Andromeda Galaxy, or Messier 31 as it is commonly known to astronomers, is a spiral galaxy visible to the naked eye even when viewed from areas with moderate light pollution. Without a telescope, it appears to be quite small, but the actual angular diameter of the galaxy is about seven times that of the full moon. The Andromeda Galaxy is the most distant object in the universe that the average person can see with the naked eye.
