Can we travel to Andromeda Galaxy?
In Andromeda FTL drives reduce the mass of your ship, allowing it to greatly exceed light speed. The reality: We can’t do this. Without a Mass Effect drive we’re doomed to travel the vast distances between galaxies. Even travelling at light speed you’ll take 2.5 million years to get there.
What is the best month to view Andromeda?
From mid-northern latitudes, you can see Andromeda – M31 – for at least part of every night, all year long. But most people see the galaxy first around August or September, when it’s high enough in the sky to be seen from evening until daybreak.
How long would it take to reach the Andromeda Galaxy?
Although it may be one of the closest galaxies to our own, since the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years distant it would take 2.5 million years to get there if (and it’s a huge ‘if’) we could travel at the speed of light.
Where is the best place to see the Andromeda Galaxy?
It’s best seen in the evening at this time of year. Most people find the galaxy by star-hopping from the constellation Cassiopeia the Queen, a very noticeable M- or W-shaped pattern on the sky’s dome. You can also find the Andromeda galaxy by star-hopping from the star Alpheratz in the Great Square of Pegasus.
Can we enter another galaxy?
The technology required to travel between galaxies is far beyond humanity’s present capabilities, and currently only the subject of speculation, hypothesis, and science fiction. However, theoretically speaking, there is nothing to conclusively indicate that intergalactic travel is impossible.
Can you see the Andromeda Galaxy without a telescope?
The Andromeda Galaxy is the only galaxy you can see without a telescope from the Northern Hemisphere. From a dark site, it looks like a faint, fuzzy patch in the sky, and it is easy to find with binoculars. Andromeda is up in the fall sky.
