If you know where to look and how to look (peripherally), you can see Andromeda naked-eye.

Of course, it looks like a fuzzy gray dot, but still, it's a neat "bag".

It will be an exciting time to be alive in 4 billion years to see the two galaxies begin to interact. Wish I could be there.

Amazing. Thanks for posting. I wonder how many of those stars have beings taking photos of our galaxy.
