Andromeda galaxy larger than thought-astronomers

The Andromeda Galaxy is really large, despite its distance. I have seen it through my telescope and it fills up the whole view, even at low power. It is really large. The Andromeda galaxy is visible through a binocular or telescopen in the city. You can see it with your own eyes in a dark location. The largest galaxy known is an elliptical galaxy in the center of a cluster Abell 2029 and it is 5.6 million light years!

cool ther is nothign like seeing some figure on glactic size or distance is wrong....it is a reminder as Einstien I think it was saud "not only is the universe stranger than we think it's stranger than we can imagine" is true.

Kilrathi live in our galaxy, the Milky Way. I have the same problem too in Houston. Light pollution. :mad:

Same in Flanders (Belgium). In the eighties it was even worse, we'd very often have cloudless nights where the only star you could see was the north star & with a full moon ... nada!
If you look at a satellite image of Europe at night, Flanders is really easy to find!

P.S. : Interesting stuff about Andromeda. It's clear that when it's comes to the creation of universe, the scientists today are still making a lot of ASSumptions ;)
