The Andromeda Galaxy and Alcor & Mizar
The Andromeda Galaxy
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, yet it is 2.3 million light years away, making it the furthest thing the naked eye can see. It is most visible during clear, moonless autumn and winter nights, and appears as a faint oval light.
