    A few years ago I finally found Andromeda in the sky, with the help of Stellarium to know where to look. I found the smudge and then looked at it through binoculars. I was blown away to think that I was looking at not only an entire other galaxy, but something like a trillion stars. So often when I'm out for a walk with my dogs at night, I look at Andromeda and wonder how many civilizations may be there on those planets that are in just the right spot for life.

    Tony, I could listen to you forever. I just retired at the end of 2017, and have been wanting to get into astronomy since I was 7 years old and saw Saturn for the first time at the Discovery Center here in Fresno through a reflector. Now I have time. Your videos have made it so easy for me to get into the hobby. Picked up a 8 inch DOB and a 4 inch reflector tabletop. Having the time of my life. Weather is great here in California to be up all night. If we lived closer to Florida, I say "Hi" to you at a Star Party. Take care my friend and keep up the good work.

    I feel sorry for Flat Earthers... They miss out on experiences like THIS because 2 brain cells isn't enough for you to realize the Earth actually IS round.... Their attention is STILL stuck down here on Earth, while those of us that have enough brain cells to understand evidence when presented to us are looking among the stars.

      Interventer wrong, I wouldn’t expect u sheeple to understand how intelligent you have to be to understand these things. Im smarter than every nasa employee combined and the earth is not flat, not round. It is a rectangular prism.

  • @Stringbean421

    I'm saddened that visual stargazing is becoming more and more difficult as the years go by with all the light pollution. Backyard astronomy is a real pain for me because of the neighbours with their darned outside lighting plus all the street lamps and a nearby docking port for ships bringing in all those containers full of Goods. The place is lit up like a christmas tree at night and has totally destroyed the Southern part of the sky for me. Now I just use a pair of binoculars for short bursts for a quick stargazing fix these days. I got so frustrated that I sold my six inch refractor. I love astronomy so now find other ways to keep the interest alive.
