Gedas

Indiana

Our Sister Galaxy....Andromeda. Hard to imagine that this galaxy is so close to us, only two million light-years away and has over 400 Billion stars (suns) just like our own Milky-way. On a clear night if you are away from city light you can just see this Galaxy with your bare eyes.

Tony, I have tried several times to leave you a comment with no luck so I will put the info here. I keep a lot of my images at http://gedas.cc/ and on page 2 of that gallery you will find a couple additional galleries related to astro stuff. This should take you to page 2:
