| APOD: 27 September 2013 Andromeda on the Rocks
The Adromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away, and is the most visible distant object easily seen by the unaided eye. Known as M31, it is a faint smudge near the top center of the Earth and skyscape. Galaxy and seaside rocks can be seen by naked eye on a clear summer night.
The scene is appealing due to the division of Earth and the scope of the Adromeda Galaxy. We see both the beauty of Earth on a summer's night in Italy, and also the mystery of the unknown and known universe.
