If Andromeda galaxy were brighter

[Jeep Junkie]

This how it would appear in the sky, six times larger than the full moon. Thank goodness it is not that bright, otherwise ancient humans would have invented even more myths and fairy tales.

Just give us more time.

We’re not done yet.

Andromeda (aka M31) is visible with even a fairly small bino if you're in a dark sky setting. Impressive sight.

Trivia: it's approaching us at an incredibly high speed. Astronomers estimate that in a few billion years, it'll merge with our Milky Way.

Can't wait!

They may have had a better understanding of the cosmos if they could see that at night.
Certainly would have added proof of the Fibonacci sequence in nature...

Here's what it looks like through my telescope. It actually extends beyond the frame so this is just the center portion.

TBH, I'd prefer "Andy's Way." But that's just me.
