Indeed, especiallty to the naked eye. The geometry of the configuration seems to carry a very special significance within my genetic memory, (my best explanation), because I can truly feel an overwhelming awe - likely the same as experienced by the ancients when they gazed at it, trying to make sense of it all.

Apart from when there's a gamma ray burst of course. One of those, earlier this year, was visible with the naked eye, and it was about 3000 times further away than M31!

Actually, Orion rises from the Southeast horizon. By Early November, it is nearly overhead by 2:00 AM, slightly to the south.Interesting to note is that this star confiuration was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, along with other ancient civilizations 5,000 years ago - and yet the stars are moving at speeds of 18 to 30 miles per second in a variety of directions and have been for billions of years.Yet the relative position of each of the stars is nearly identical to this day.

Yes, this is true. You can See Andromeda which is a galaxy 2.2 million light years from here with the naked eye, just above the tail of the constellation Andromeda! |
