I've always wondered what beings in the Andromeda Galaxy call their galaxy and what they call ours.

I've only seen Andromeda once with my naked eye, and it still blows my mind that light traveled for 2.5 million years to hit my photoreceptors.

I bet there is another Anton in the Andromeda galaxy making a video about the Milky Way.

Lots of mysteries being uncovered every day. Anton does an amazing job of keeping on all the new discoveries, and sorting out the cooledt stuff to share. A truly wonderful person.

I like the idea of the insanely distant galaxy as it is in our "neighbourhood".

Looks like the Milky Way has picked on a Galaxy that isn't just a late night snack

If what we see does not fit our models, then our knowledge, being incomplete, makes our models incomplete as well. The more evidence we have, the better models we can make. Interesting video, Anton.

For living in a cosmic void there are enough galaxies around us to study and don't feel alone.😂😂

Each time scientists say: "This shouldn't be.", makes me question current cosmological model.
