I learned the constellations as a teenager in the 70s and at age 65 I still go out every night I can. No matter where I am I look at the night sky and it is like having old familiar friends with me.
When I look at the Andromeda Galaxy, I think of all the civilizations existing there, thousands of them, in that tiny patch of light! As a child when I looked at Andromeda, I would say "I release your chains!" I could not bear to imagine any living thing chained! That voice again, so relaxing!
Why should there be any civilizations in the closest galaxy if we can't see any in any other galaxy? For all we know, all the places we can see are completely void of intelligent life.
@@MrCmon113 Everywhere there is life on earth. Remove it and nature brings it back. Most people cannot fathom the numbers, hundreds of billions of stars in one galaxy, billions of galaxies, and no intelligent life? I believe the universe is teeming with life, it matters not to me if some choose to disbelieve it.
@@MrCmon113 And how should we see them if we can barely make out any planets around any stars in our own galaxy with our current tech? Just because we don't have the ability to see them on the surface of their planet doesn't mean they are not there. Just because we haven't seen them doesn't mean they haven't seen us. Just because they haven't contacted or visited us (if they have the ability for space travel) doesn't mean they don't have a good reason that we don't understand to not make contact or to remain out of sight if they have visited.
Another Great Video..!! I always fascinated about Andromeda, but don't know how to find it in the vast night sky. Thanks a lot 'Learn the Sky' for sharing such an wonderful video..!! 😀 Also, thank you for sharing the mythology behind this beautiful Galaxy..!!
A wonderfu l set of videos. I have always wanted to be able to locate the constellations but have always had trouble. Thank you for making it so much easier. Now I just need to some clear dark skies to practice.
Ooooh, so it's just to the top side of what I call the arched three stars at 3_08 min! Hope we have a clear sky tonight, can't wait to be able to see it....Been looking for about two weeks now! Thank you....those images where very helpful indeed, as no one ever showed the arched stars( I'm so excited)
I can see Andromeda with the naked eye, at first I'm like what's that fuzzy thing in the sky and then I focused on it intently and was more clear to me it was indeed a galaxy.
I rarely subscribe to any channel. But you've earned my subscription with your well-made content! I'm waiting for my first telescope to arrive and i'm glad i found your channel!
Fun fact ; Andromeda Galaxy is on a collision course with our Milky-way Galaxy and is travelling towards us at approx 9 million miles per day, but due to it's vast distance from us, it wont get here for approximately another 4.5 billion years..
That's only been repeated for about 4 or 5 decades to my knowledge and will go on until we get absorbed by andromeda. But none of use will be here, hell our sun my have expanded over us by that time when it burns off and becomes a darf star
I saw a video here on TH-cam where it said that the Andromeda galaxy is moving towards the Milky Way galaxy at a rate of 9 million miles a day, and even at the rate of speed, it would take approximately 400 to 450 million years for these two galaxies to collide. The Andromeda galaxy sits about 2.5 million light years away from us, you said that they will collide in 2.5 million years. I don't think the Andromeda galaxy is moving towards us at the speed of light. Those numbers just don't add up. Light travels at a rate of 186,000 miles per second. 186,000 x 60 = 11,160,000 miles per minute, 11,160,000 x 60 = 669,600,000 miles per hour, 669,600,000 x 24 = 16,070,400,000 miles per day. And my calculator won't give me how many miles per year, but's it's just mind blowing to think just how far 2.5 million light years really is.
Hey This is my Constellation I was born 12/12/1979 my good friend Santos Bonacci the Astrotheologist along with my Element 61 which is Prometheum " not a natural occurrence to earth" found this is my Constellation and strangely enough Represents my life Did you know that the symbol for Andromeda is on the front of Toyota cars 😁🙌 Anyway I truly love this and theres so much more Love from Ireland Beautifully Narrated I look forward to the rest 😌🇮🇪🌹🔥
I recently got a telescope and took some photos of stars through it tonight. The brightest star in my sky tonight I think was “Mirach” or Beta Andromedae. It looked orange-red through my telescope. I found this video to make sure the star I thought I took photos of was the correct one, and it was! Thank you for this great video!
If you live near the equator (which I do), am I correct to assume that there's no ideal time to view any constellations i.e it can be viewed just the same all year round?
My sister spent evenings out at the edge of our grandfather's corn field. This was the early 1960s , our dad got us a reflector telescoe fo about 5 dollars. Many happy hours!
There is one mistake in her narration, she says Andromeda and the Milky way galaxies are set to merge in 2.5 million years, actually the estimate is 4.5 BILLION years.
First time I looked at the Andromeda Galaxy M31 with my telescope I was wondering where the rest of it was. Didn't know to see it in real time I needed a much much bigger telescope than I had (6 inches/150mm).
Great video! I first learned the route to M31 through cassiopeia.. ive since found it easier to find Mirach, follow the two brighter stars above it to land on M31. All of these ways work. One of my all time favorites!
Are Cassiopeia and Andromeda a.ways together year round cause the app I use always shows this constellation under Cassiopeia even during the Spring and Summer.
Hello Jeanine. I just wanted to tell you how pretty you are and how sweet your voice is. I also wanted to tell you that no none explains the sky as well as you do, and I thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You make learning so simple and yet so interesting.
Thank you for your message. I am not the best person to recommend a telescope. I am more of a binocular user at the moment. I haven't made my big telescope purchase yet...I just can't decide what to get. My recommendation is to find a local star party and check out the telescopes there. It gives you a chance try different types and see what you like. I tend to prefer reflector telescopes. Dobsonian telescopes are inexpensive, but I always struggled to use them. A great channel for learning more about telescopes is called Eyes on the Sky. He does a great job going over different recommendation and skill sets when using a telescope.
I started taking astrophotography pictures a few years ago and was surprised to see Andromeda in my results but then I seen what the people on the Astrobin site were posting and I was gobsmacked at the quality. Light pollution is still a problem where I live in northern Ontario surprisingly.
For me, Cassiopeia’s highest point is the “finger” pointing to the Andromeda Galaxy. Using a 5” reflector manually guided telescope the waypoints are really helpful. Also the “Nightsky” app is good for locating the planets in our solar system. Just type in your location. Annoyingly loud background sounds drown out the instructor.
We will collide with the Andromeda galaxy in 4 billion years, not in 2.5 million years. The latter would be true only if Andromeda were traveling towards us at the speed of light, which it isn't (moving only at 500,000 km/hour).
All the stars we see with the unaided eye are all located in the Milky Way Galaxy. In the Andromeda constellation, the Andromeda Galaxy is visible. So yes, some constellations can contain objects from different galaxies.
At 1: 40 "It takes 2.5 million years for that light to reach us." At 7:15 "We will eventually collide with that galaxy some 2.5 million years from now." So the Milky Way and Andromeda are headed toward each other at the speed of light???!!!?!?
Yes. Definitely. Over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered around many types of stars. And there are many more candidates for exoplanets waiting to be confirmed.
Cassiopeia (Teh queen of Ethiopia) boasted that she and her daughter Andromeda were more beautiful than all the Nereids, the nymph-daughters of the sea god Nereus. This brought the wrath of Poseidon, ruling god of the sea, upon the kingdom of Ethiopia.
And remember that men's old stories only reflect his lack of knowledge of man's structure and life on earth. Man's psyche thoughts and souls follow in life and are shaped by each human being.
Why "chained women constellation" has been named ? Did this not Notice any women ? Where are those Women Forums/Institutions who are constantly trying to uplift and raise the women communities.
I have so many thoughts about this. As I was learning more about the ancient mythologies, often the women were portrayed as evil (Cassiopeia) or helpless (Andromeda)...why is this? Virgo would be the exception here. She is often with a variety of goddesses from Greek mythology. It does make for some interesting dialogue.
There are no pre-Hellenic (Pre-Greek) references of even the name not to mention the concept of a Galaxy Andromeda. You say at the beginning this false, yet you fail to provide any such civilization simply because it doesnt exist. Andromeda is a Greek Creation or at least knowledge of some pre-cataclysmic ancient wisdom of our planet.

Hands down the best channel i've seen that explains the constellations very well
I can't get enough of your videos. I find them very easy to follow and I really enjoy your delivery.
Thank you!
as always, excellent work - i’ve been waiting for this video for some time now!

I HAD FOUND IT!!! The Andromeda Galaxy! And also other constellations! Thanks you so so much!
Glad I could help!
I bought a telescope through lazada. And its so frickin expensive, so I spend the rest of my life of buying it and explore the stars.

Always great to watch. AND learn. Thank you.

You are right also the pictures that where used not very clear to see sorry narrative was very clear well done
I heard it was something like 93 miles per second, and that it would take 4-5 billion years for it to get here.
it's 2.5 million lightyears away that's what she got confused.
Wow, thank u soo much for sharing these infos❤
Hey This is my Constellation I was born 12/12/1979 my good friend Santos Bonacci the Astrotheologist along with my Element 61 which is Prometheum " not a natural occurrence to earth" found this is my Constellation and strangely enough Represents my life

Beautifully Narrated I look forward to the rest 😌🇮🇪🌹🔥
yes ive been wanting this for so much thank you :)
Hope you enjoy it!
@@learnthesky i did!
Although I am not good at English, I understand and follow you. I encourage you very much. My greetings.
Very intresting !! and clear presentation
Another GREAT video 🤍🤍
You are great !😻

I'm happy to hear you found it! Andromeda is a beautiful constellation. Thank you for your support.
55years old, just starting. So helpful
Atm ad night, the big triangle, with one or two red stars are above my head. Its beautiful.
Thanksyou for your video's
Great video. It's like a plot in the movie scene. I love the music in the background. Don't look up. LOL
Very impressive , thanks
I just lately subscribed to your channel and thank you for posting. I'm used to find Cassiopeia first to get to Andromeda.
That is a good strategy as well. Thank you for sharing.
Wow thank you for teaching me that.
U should do a history of astronomy. I'm new to it. I love your videos! I'd love to see a history one from you!
Great suggestion. I'll add it to the list.
@@learnthesky I'll be wating for it!

There is one mistake in her narration, she says Andromeda and the Milky way galaxies are set to merge in 2.5 million years, actually the estimate is 4.5 BILLION years.
Is your image showing Pleiades and Orion reversed East and West?
Which are some of the good books to learn astronomy

Yes. They are always together. However Cassiopeia stays out all year round, while Andromeda will dip below the horizon.

How can I find Andromeda Galaxy from mintaka star?
10:50 btw the triangle next to Triangulum is Pisces
I live in Germany and I can see Cassiopeia all year round, but can I also see Andromeda all the time?
At 6:25, I liked the pattern of Andromeda constellation. 👍
Wow this was fantastic! Thank you! Do you recommend a specific telescope if any?

So the Andromeda galaxy I see is actually what it looked like 2.5 million years ago!
Yes, it’s fascinating!
And if Andromeda can see us ,were not even alive yet...
@@Atomdanuke yes
These constellation map clases have more something than astronomy.

Thank you for my comment. I've stopped using music in the background due to this reason. I like your tip for finding Andromeda Galaxy.
“Oops sorry Pegasus is down here” is literally me trying to point out anything to my girlfriend stargazing 🤣
What would i see if i look from andromeda back to earth?
Since the Milky Way is roughly half the size of the Andromeda Galaxy, it would most likely appear smaller and dimmer in the sky.
@@learnthesky thank you💓
What about in the southern hemisphere?
Andromeda is visible at latitudes between +90° and −40°. So if you are in that range you should be able to see it.
If you were born on April 2nd-9th-19th/May 8th your Andromeda👸
We will collide with the Andromeda galaxy in 4 billion years, not in 2.5 million years. The latter would be true only if Andromeda were traveling towards us at the speed of light, which it isn't (moving only at 500,000 km/hour).
What galaxy is this constellation in? Can constellations contain objects from different galaxies?
All the stars we see with the unaided eye are all located in the Milky Way Galaxy. In the Andromeda constellation, the Andromeda Galaxy is visible. So yes, some constellations can contain objects from different galaxies.
did You say 2 Million or 2 Billion? It's around 5.0 Billion years I believe until Andromeda collides.
The patch at the page 📄is the andromeda galaxy
dreading when we run into this monster.
At 1: 40 "It takes 2.5 million years for that light to reach us."
At 7:15 "We will eventually collide with that galaxy some 2.5 million years from now."
So the Milky Way and Andromeda are headed toward each other at the speed of light???!!!?!?
If I am stopped at night by a police officer and he asks me where I am going I point in this direciton :)
} : )
2.5 million years until we crash into Andromeda. Not long when you think about dinosaurs were 65 million years ago.
Nasa's voyager 2 probe is aprently heading to the andromida constellation.😀😀😀😀😀😀
could different stars just be different suns with its own habitable planets revolving around them
Yes. Definitely. Over 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered around many types of stars. And there are many more candidates for exoplanets waiting to be confirmed.
Nys
I’ve never seen her. I usually see the hunter where I am
Casiopia (or whatever it is..!) is a better known pattern to work down with..... Is Andromeda north of that CASIOPIA...?!😅
Imagine the andromeda is actually somewhat gone at the present time but we will see it after 2 . 5 MY lmao
Cassiopeia is an amazing pure Angel and they have made up lies about her. I'm in the process of renaming all of the constellations for this reason
True story. Fact
Cassiopeia (Teh queen of Ethiopia) boasted that she and her daughter Andromeda were more beautiful than all the Nereids, the nymph-daughters of the sea god Nereus. This brought the wrath of Poseidon, ruling god of the sea, upon the kingdom of Ethiopia.
Cassiopeia is the best with the arrow pointing…easiest
I much prefer the V shape!
Me too! The V shape is what you can actually see in the sky.
Andromeda is a GALAXY, not a constellation; which defines a special configuration of stars , within a galaxy
I also saved her mother and her grandmother
ive seen Andromeda's Outline look more like a skinny Letter A
I know Andromeda personally
And remember that men's old stories only reflect his lack of knowledge of man's structure and life on earth. Man's psyche thoughts and souls follow in life and are shaped by each human being.
