A few years ago I finally found Andromeda in the sky, with the help of Stellarium to know where to look. I found the smudge and then looked at it through binoculars. I was blown away to think that I was looking at not only an entire other galaxy, but something like a trillion stars. So often when I'm out for a walk with my dogs at night, I look at Andromeda and wonder how many civilizations may be there on those planets that are in just the right spot for life.
I'm from Indonesia. This is probably the best video I've ever found that describe in detailed yet easy simple layman terms for the average ordinary people like me who is interested in astronomy. Thank you very much for this video!
I feel sorry for Flat Earthers... They miss out on experiences like THIS because 2 brain cells isn't enough for you to realize the Earth actually IS round.... Their attention is STILL stuck down here on Earth, while those of us that have enough brain cells to understand evidence when presented to us are looking among the stars.
Interventer wrong, I wouldn’t expect u sheeple to understand how intelligent you have to be to understand these things. Im smarter than every nasa employee combined and the earth is not flat, not round. It is a rectangular prism. (Im joking if anyone actually believes people think this)
Tony, I could listen to you forever. I just retired at the end of 2017, and have been wanting to get into astronomy since I was 7 years old and saw Saturn for the first time at the Discovery Center here in Fresno through a reflector. Now I have time. Your videos have made it so easy for me to get into the hobby. Picked up a 8 inch DOB and a 4 inch reflector tabletop. Having the time of my life. Weather is great here in California to be up all night. If we lived closer to Florida, I say "Hi" to you at a Star Party. Take care my friend and keep up the good work.
11 months later and I hope you are still continuing to enjoy the hobby! I just bought my first expensive telescope and can't wait to get started. Is their anything in particular I should try to observe first?
I'm saddened that visual stargazing is becoming more and more difficult as the years go by with all the light pollution. Backyard astronomy is a real pain for me because of the neighbours with their darned outside lighting plus all the street lamps and a nearby docking port for ships bringing in all those containers full of Goods. The place is lit up like a christmas tree at night and has totally destroyed the Southern part of the sky for me. Now I just use a pair of binoculars for short bursts for a quick stargazing fix these days. I got so frustrated that I sold my six inch refractor. I love astronomy so now find other ways to keep the interest alive.
So cool, I love looking for Andromeda and thanks for pointing out something I intuitively already knew; it's easier to see if you're not looking directly it.
I've seen it with both the naked eye and binoculars but you have to go either the desert or any remote area away from the city lights, otherwise its hard to find the Andromeda Galaxy.
The narrator's voice :) So soothing. It's like a peaceful, bedtime story. Give me more of these videos :) And, please show us more of these kinds of screens to get acquainted to the sky map.
@@PearuArmasJ OR maybe we're coming right at Andromeda? Think about it, what if we're actually the threat and they're actually a very peaceful galaxy full of atheist who aren't corrupted by the concept of religion?
@@homelesshotdog6677 well religion has a lot to do with it. For example, religion tells like 90% of the planet how to think and religion has caused plenty of violence for thousands of years. We're a pretty stupid species. Religion is designed to control. If you can't understand what im saying now, then idk
I was blown away by how big it is in the night sky on the very fringe of visual perception. Can't look at it directly or it will vanish. Even with Binoculars.
This is why I love living in West Texas. Nothing but barren desert 🏜️ night sky watching has always been a big deal in my life since a child. I'm obsessed with space 🚀
You can see a satellite moving from right to left just above Andromeda from 1:52 until 1:59 of this video. It's pretty hard to see. Watch it in full screen.
My route planner made me miss Andromeda. I ended up in the Böotes Void. Damn! Everything there is single dimensional. Road Assistance had to tow me out.
This is basically ASMR. You could tag your vids with it and probly get more clicks. You do a great job. Thanks for the answer about the Andromeda Galaxy being wider than the full moon in the sky. I was always curious about that.
and when Andromeda "collides" with our galaxy, almost no stars will actually collide because of the vast space between each in both galaxies. It will pass through us
I could not see it even when you showed it in a square. Was wondering why there is a dark square :). Then realized i was not wearing my glasses lol . I doubt my luck without the video :)
So every day, it’s technically easier to see by the SLIGHTEST bit Also, if your night sky has ANY form of clouds, it basically impossible. Even a tiny tiny cloud looks like the same faint smudge
2.5 million light years away !!!.....I sometimes wonder about the many different names.....are own galaxy must be referred to as...from the vantage point of distant worlds.........and how many of those worlds...have curious observers.....that dream about what it must be like out there....so far beyond their own reach.
actually it will not get much brighter as it gets closer because the distances between individual stars in it are HUGE. when its half way here it will be no brighter than it is now
What your proposing here makes no sense. Of course it will appear more visible at it will be closers. The space between the stars within it makes zero difference
Yes. The highest it gets above your north horizon is about 40°. The best month is early October, when the Sun is on the exact opposite side of Polaris. A month or two on either side would be good to look for it. Early April is the worst time, don't even bother.
Since light takes a long time to travel from the Andromeda Galaxy shouldn't that mean that we are seeing an Andromeda that is further away then it actually is, if light traveled instantly how close would the Galaxy appear then? Would it take up the majority of the night time sky and would it be brighter than the moon, if it is brighter than the moon then how much brighter?
At 0. 49 you state “an area of earth’s orbit where magnificent constellations come into view”. Not being an astronomer, other than looking through my ornithological scope, it’s not struck me until now, that there is an enormous amount of night sky where there are no constellations. Am I understanding this correctly? If yes, then why? Are the constellations in a certain arm of The Milky Way? Or what…?

Brown 021 😂😂😂😂👌👌
They think it's flat because well gravity pulls you down and Earth spins right?
@CalvindeWaal Andromeda is flat just like the earth
Interventer wrong, I wouldn’t expect u sheeple to understand how intelligent you have to be to understand these things. Im smarter than every nasa employee combined and the earth is not flat, not round. It is a rectangular prism.
(Im joking if anyone actually believes people think this)
grounding yourself is still very important. the flat earth theory may be whack, but the earth is hollow and contains things beyond our imagination
Eventually, Andromeda will be the ONLY thing you'll see in the night sky.
Eks calybur true
I wonder if humans will still be around to witness it.
ABN Carloo probably not
ABN Carloo where gonna nuke eachother to bits before that ever happens. I wont be suprised if humanity is gone in 200 years
Jake Maxwell he meant that eventually the only thing you will see is andromeda meaning in millions of years that will happen, but not us of course

Twood be great if I had a tele that would zoom in like that..
It's right above my head these nights, very close to zenit. Less atmosphere to peek through
Very nice illustration. So easily explained
Around 2:12, close to Andromeda on the left hand side, you can see a speck moving.... not sure if it was a satellite or something else 🤔🤔🤓👽👽🤔🤔
urlifeisvile comet maybe
its iss
I found it maybe there's more of the human race over there..
Saw it yesterday thanks to your help, had to use binoculars and it was very cool, thanks.
I just spotted it last night. Surreal experience
crazy that you arent even looking at it in real time, what you see is from 2.5 million years ago. any way we dont know if its gone by now?
gone? gone fuckin' where? it's coming RIGHT AT US
@@PearuArmasJ soo what you are saying is that its actually closer then 2.5 mil light years??

Thank you so much, this is the clearest way to find Andromeda.
Thanks very much for making it easy to find using the arrow of the W of Cassiopeia
thank u so much its help and informative
Thank you this helped me very much. Hope to see it tonight
Thanks for this tip, I’ve always wanted to see this galaxy
His voice is soothing for me
Every time when i watch deep sky videos i falled asleep all the time
Thank you for the very polite image.
I also made the Andromeda's music🌌
Not sure which is better, the visual assistance or the calming voice. You should do some guided meditations. Please.
Super soothing voice and useful information. Now I'm ready to dream of the stars.
I was blown away by how big it is in the night sky on the very fringe of visual perception.
Can't look at it directly or it will vanish. Even with Binoculars.
Appreciate ya. Thanks for sharing.

Dude! Thanks Tony. I literally asked about a video yesterday. Awesome!
That voice makes me feel at ease :)
I really enjoyed this video thanks
Your voice is so relaxing
2:36 whats the other similar thing next to the galaxy??
triangulum galaxy
Bro,his voice is so soothing
which software you were using too show Andromeda galaxy??????
Amazing voice 👍🙂 I have subscribed
My route planner made me miss Andromeda. I ended up in the Böotes Void. Damn! Everything there is single dimensional. Road Assistance had to tow me out.
Awesome video.
Whats the best time to see it from jacksonville florida?
1:16 I see this stars together in a inverted Y position I saw it days ago and now today. What is this
pleiades star cluster and maia nebula if you are in a dark sky area
What program is this?! It’s amazing!
Stellarium
what will be the best beginner astronomical telescope and a camera to capture the photos?
I just found out I was looking in a wrong direction. Thanks for the tip.
I wonder if there is someone in the andromeda galaxy that is looking up at the Milky Way right now
Never know you could be looking at the real obi-wan kenobi and he might be looking right back
This is basically ASMR. You could tag your vids with it and probly get more clicks. You do a great job. Thanks for the answer about the Andromeda Galaxy being wider than the full moon in the sky. I was always curious about that.
Thank you for the vid.
whats the software called that you're using? looks awesome
and when Andromeda "collides" with our galaxy, almost no stars will actually collide because of the vast space between each in both galaxies. It will pass through us
Subscribed. Because voice.
What is the app you're using?
How will we find it during May-September,i meant we can not see the Orion during and between this month
what do you use in this video?
your voice is damn satisfying
Mritunjay I thought it was a robot at first
Bob Ross voice
At what time does it show though and can it bee seen from anywhere?
What's the name of this software??
Keep looking up....
I could not see it even when you showed it in a square. Was wondering why there is a dark square :). Then realized i was not wearing my glasses lol . I doubt my luck without the video :)
the galaxy will be closer to me when its night time too so yeah it always moves towards us right
tnk u ,
I'll try it by my 16X nikon binocular.
Those series of beeps at the very beginning were freaking me out because they were the same frequency as my alarm clock.
So every day, it’s technically easier to see by the SLIGHTEST bit
Also, if your night sky has ANY form of clouds, it basically impossible.
Even a tiny tiny cloud looks like the same faint smudge
which website u used
Yeah this is it right here. Thats the stuff 👍
I neec the app you are using what its name
Is that another galaxy seen just above andromida? When its zoomed in
what program is this?

how to download it how?

Yes
Its triangulum galaxy
1:50 did you see that shooting star/comet above Andromeda? That looked sick and I wonder if that's visible to the naked eye.
Use your binocs to find M33, opposite and equally distant from Mirach. . . low surface brightness.
wats the name of the app
Stellarium. It's a free download.
Well that's what we need, astronomer guy with a Bob Ross voice.
