<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numisnewbiest, post: 4979470, member: 99613&quot;]A couple summers ago I decided I would spend the warmer days trying to find the Andromeda galaxy through my binoculars. I figured this would take me all summer, not being even an amateur astronomer, but I looked forward to the hunt. I bought a small star chart, grabbed my compass and binoculars, and headed out on night number one just to get used to getting myself situated.</p><p>Well, wouldn&#039;t you know it, five minutes into my search across the sky, I found the Andromeda galaxy. I&#039;ll never forget that feeling of looking at it through binoculars, seeing it &quot;in person&quot; for the first time...it took my breath away to be seeing something as it was 2-1/2 million years ago, and imagining the odds of something being in that galaxy somewhere, looking back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
