First of all, since the first letter of the alphabet is A, I'd like to give a shout out to Arlee Bird, the creator of the A-Z Challenge. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be here for this. Thank you!
The Andromeda Galaxy, or M31, is our cosmic neighbor. As such, it intrigues us with its beauty. We study it in our quest to deepen our understanding of the cosmos. One day, it will collide with our own Milky Way Galaxy and create something new. For me, this only adds to its allure.

I did not know what Andromeda was before reading this post. ...And I consider myself a nerd [shakes head disapprovingly].
ReplyDeleteI've, actually, heard of this galaxy...I feel all astronomical and stuff :)
ReplyDeleteLoved reading this. My husband has a large telescope that he likes to look at the stars with and he's taught me so much about the stars and galaxies. Thanks for such an interesting post.
ReplyDeleteMy "A" post on one of my blogs is similar to yours - astronomy. I'm fascinated with space and what's out there!
