The emergence of "Andromeda" larger than the moon .. just a rumor

A window on the world – "Abu Zahra": The galaxy will look like a big blur and dark blur

The engineer Majid Abu Zahra, president of the Jeddah Astronomical Society, said that erroneous information was being disseminated through social networking sites that this summer and at midnight, the Andromeda galaxy would be visible to the naked eye and that its diameter would be larger than the moon in a single cosmic phenomenon. The last time was produced 150 million years ago.

"It is true that the Andromeda galaxy will not be as big and smooth as the image that circulates, but can be seen at the naked eye the nights without the presence of the moon in the when it is spotted as a very dark place away from the city lights, and dim, without the need for surveillance devices, as did the ancient sky observers.

"The Andromeda galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, according to cosmic standards, but it is far removed from what some might think when seeing it with the naked eye.

If you decide to experience the Andromeda galaxy's vision, you must know the location of the galaxy and look for a location away from your city lights and clear skies. Once the galaxy found at the naked eye or through the binoculars, it is best to use the telescope to see more details about an Andromeda galaxy, the view will be very beautiful.
