Andromeda

The Andromeda Galaxy is the most distant object in the sky that is visible to the naked eye from a dark location. It is also our nearest galactic neighbor at about 2.5 million light years away, which means when you spot it in the sky you’re looking 2.5 million years into the past at a whole other galaxy filled with stars and planets. Every time I spend a night with my camera pointed towards Andromeda I inevitably find myself wondering if there is someone, somewhere in there, with a camera pointed back at me.
