Reply to I want to see the Andromeda Galaxy with my naked eye. I can't, I have a method of finding it using Cassiopeia and a field to walk out on to get away from the lights. by vnevner

I need at least binoculars in my area ( I absolutely love my binoculars for viewing space ). Trying to find it with my telescope was tough.

I used the constellation right under it. I think it’s called andromeda, it looks like V. I used the set of 2 stars under the galaxy and follow up.

Reply to comment by PhilosophyEconomy873 in I spent 20 hours shooting the Horsehead nebula to create my most intricately detailed photo of this region. This area is surprisingly large, and if it were brighter it would appear much larger than the full moon. Make sure you zoom in! [OC] by ajamesmccarthy

If you mean before “processing” (different than editing) My raw images look entirely black with a couple stars visible.

yess that's a unique way of seeing that.
Man I love how our universe works the cycle of star formation inside the nebulas. It's so wonderful and mind boggling.

I live in an area of moderately dark skies, and can just make out the Andromeda Galaxy by eye - and only if I have it just off the center of my vision.

I use a couple of stars from the Andromeda constellation to find it, though Cassiopeia helps too.

Reply to comment by RollinThundaga in ‘We found the Artemis-I noise level at 5 km had a crackling quality about 40 million times greater than a bowl of Rice Krispies.’ — Maximum noise measured during Artemis-I launch on 16 Nov. 2022 was higher than predicted by marketrent

Key word: apparent. Actual doubling of sound pressure levels is every 3dB. Every 10dB added is 10x the energy. (Sound energy and volume are two different things but they’re directly proportional)

Honestly surprised that it’s only 136 dB around the rocket. Also surprised that they didn’t also state the C-weight, as that would highlight more of the low end you get from the rocket itself. There’s a ton of low end that’s being tossed out (for good reason) when they A-weight.

Born too late to explore the oceans & discover new lands, born too early to explore the stars & discover new planets.

actually... its a dance of life :-)

If you look at the above image you see a blue hue, and even some bright blue areas: that is all star formation of new hot blue (O& B) type stars... billions of them. And that all occurs because of the collision.

This one always fucks me up. I've heard and understood the explanation many times, but my human brain just doesn't like dealing with time dilation and numbers that big for some reason.

Or maybe it does. You never know how long the makeup of that galaxy will last. Sephora could never.

yesss i knew about the collision with the Andromeda they are doing the dance of death.
Hope we stick teill then to witness it.
