Thinking about just how vast our universe is makes me believe that we are not alone. But I don't believe we will ever know that for sure, the distances are just too great.

You don’t have to go to Hawaii to see Andromeda’s stars. I found a locations in Nebraska where on a New Moon nite is pitch dark, you cannot see your hand in front of your face. I saw the dim light of Andromeda’s stars and it wasn’t coming from the MILKY WAY GALAXY. It’s awesome and it make you feel small and insignificant. If you’ve never seen it with your own eyes its beyond imagination of what’s beyond our Galaxy.

I mostly use Cassiopeia to find it.

She never stops educate people 👍🏻💯

Thank you!!!

Very informative video! liked it 👍 thanks for making that one. really awesome

This video was AWESOME!!!! Thank you

I enjoy your videos

not being a nitpicker, but the clouds you are citing are named for the explorer Magellan, correct? and are the large and small megellanic clouds, without a "t"? I am enjoying the videos, truly.

Thanks for the great video here - subscribed! I remember when I went on a canoe trip out in the middle of nowhere how amazing the sky looked at night. I was blown away with how many stars are out there, it really stirs the soul. I need to do that again sometime soon.

Imagine the images Hubble's replacement telescope will get from the Andromeda Galaxy. It should be spectacular.

JW is not a Hubble replacement's Telescope. JW is an Infrared Telescope. Is not an optical like Hubble.

Thanks for sharing! Could you talk about Piscis Austrinus? I'm fascinated by its alpha star, but always have a hard time finding it. Thank you!

Very nice user friendly. That I can share with my friends so they can get a better understand ing. On how to look for the stars. Keep looking Up.

Thank you❤

this is so interesting

Fantastic 👏👏👏

If you learn the constellations then you will have no problem finding it.

Hi, what do you mean by oldest light?? Love your videos by the way💜

Light takes time to reach Earth from distant places. For example, light from the Sun takes 8 minutes to reach us here on Earth. For the Andromeda Galaxy, it takes light 2.5 million years to reach us. So essentially we are looking at what the galaxy looked liked 2.5 million years ago. There is no other object in the night sky that we can see with the naked eye that is as old as Andromeda's. I hope this explanation helps.

If it will collide, its very long right?

I have something to clean up here: it's not that it's required to wiew the milky way from a placa far away from any towns . . but the further you'll go the clearer , and more impressive wiew you will have it is basicly an adwice for how to mave the best wiew . . . but the question of: . do you realy need the best wiew ? is just as important

Please explain about super massive black hole at the centre of our galaxy...

I assume all satellite galaxies in both Andromeda and the Milky Way will be pulled along, too. This will be a heavily congested area of space someday. There may be no nightfall either. Earth, if it's still inhabited, may be surrounded by multiple suns.

well technically from 2020 everyone should know that the milkyway's size is 200,000 light years and andromeda 220,000 light years. i am sure evryone read the fasinating new discovery on milyway's size which was published in 2020. this video is good if it was in 2015 but just for ur learning maam read the article milkyway is much more massive than previously thought and u will get thousands of other articles like this and also many videos like this. thank u

Can u just make large majestic cloud vs small one

Yes! That one is on my list!

WoW Andromeda galaxy is so close to us about 2.5 million ly! But it will getting closer to us about 110 km and will collide to us for 4 billion Years 😱 when andromeda hits milky way Milky Way + Andromeda = Milkomeda

I saw Andromeda’s stars from a desolate ancient Sioux habitat in North-central Nebraska 25 years ago. I’m wondering how much closer it looks today. IF I HAD THE BUCKS I WOULD BUILD AN OBSERVATORY!

When we see the Milky Way from earth, are we seeing the center lf the Milky Way or the arm of it?

@learnthesky

We can see both actually. In the summer, the Earth is oriented towards the core of the Milky Way. In the winter, we are oriented away from the galactic core, so we are observing the 'arms' of the galaxy (or one arm, at least).

You said the mass of the 2 galaxies are about the same. How can that be possible if Andromeda has 1 trillion Stars the Milky Way only has 100 to 400 billion?

What about the system of globular clusters and the difference in ages? Also their rotation curves? Andromeda is clearly NOT barred, it's been misclassified - it's not there in the visible, it's not there in the ultraviolet, and it's not there in the infrared... learn to trust your own eyes!

This is the state of popular astronomy today? There is no 't' in Magellanic, as in the 'Clouds' - two prominent satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, named after Ferdinand Magellan. Also, the two main satellites of the Andromeda Galaxy are known as M32 - not M33 - and M110.

I am very scared about the Milky Way galaxy collision with Andromeda galaxy because our solar systems in there and I think it’s gonna end

They look like some giant flung light pinwheels.

I prefer the term intertwine instead of collide when the Andromeda Galaxy gets here. lol

That is a great word to describe merging galaxies, much better than collide. I may need to use that word from now on. Thank you for sharing.

I can't wait for JWST 🌌🛰
