Check Out The Andromeda Galaxy

This time of year it's possible to see the Andromeda Galaxy, the next door neighbor to our home Milky Way Galaxy nearly overhead around 8 p.m.

If you're in the countryside you may see it with the naked eye as a tiny faint misty patch. In area of city lights, you'll need a small telescope or maybe just a good pair of binoculars.

Look for more information on the graphic: Good Luck!
