Amazing...

Imagine looking back TWO MILLION (2,000,000) years in time! Afzal - you've just done that! I'm about to post a marked-up version of this pic (please forgive me if that's not OK - say so and I'll never do this again) which shows the Andromeda Galaxy which is captured in this shot!

Re: Amazing...

Thanks for your comments and vote. With the naked eye, we can see from 2000 to 2500 stars on clear night. Binoculars will show thousand more, and a large telescope can reach out to thousands of millions stars. Most of these lie in the bright girdle of Milky Way, once thought to be the road along which the souls of the dead traveled to heaven. Many stars turn out to be not just single objects, but cluster of two, three or even more stars. Some of these double stars as they called, are two stars held close together because one happens to be almost behind the other in our line of sight, though they may in fact be an immense distance apart.

When we look at the stars we are looking back deep into the past, for we see them, not they are now, but often as they were hundred of years ago. The light we receive from most of them began its great journey long before we were born, and from the more distant stars long before man appeared on earth.

There are more to write about sky and stars, but SP is for Mountaineering and Hiking!

Best regards, Afzal
