With some of the best moon, star, and meteor sightings of the year, nature is being a little friendlier to sky aficionados.
It is now the turn of Andromeda, our neighbour. The nearest major galaxy to our own Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy.
This week is when it will seem at its brightest. There is a significant probability that we will see this incredible deep-sky object.
To begin with, you should be aware of where in the sky to gaze in order to see Andromeda at precisely the right angle.
In the northern hemisphere, it is visible in the night sky for much of the year, though fall is the greatest time to observe it.
When the weather is right, it is also visible with the unaided eye, making it the furthest object visible to the human eye.
It is more than two million light-years away from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy.
It is a spiral galaxy that spans over 200,000 light-years and is located in the Andromeda constellation.
It is a member of the deep-sky Messier Catalogue and is also known as M31.
Because of hot, young stars in pockets that are burning bright blue, the Andromeda Galaxy is distinguished by its stunning blue tint.
