Purchase: http://hilaroad.com/video/ This video demonstrates how to find the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). This galaxy is 2.5 million light years from earth but with some basic knowledge of the night sky and a pair of binoculars it is actually possible to see it! The video is designed for anyone interested in astronomy and it also provides support for the astronomy component of any science curriculum.

  • Wow... we all busy around with our lives, worrying about bills and taxes when all this is floating around above us......

  • Wow there are billions of galaxies out there i can bet my life we are not alone. I'm 99% sure there are other planets like Earth but no evidence or radio waves to pick up since we godzillion light years apart. Only our spirits will take us there..in a blink of an eye...like being reborn into a next life

  • Great video

  • im 13 years old and i came here hoping to get some answers for physics, but i stayed, this was REAALLY interesting, especially the thing about light years... thank you :)

  • Man seing how big the universe actually is, it makes life look small and pointless.

  • Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to find Andromeda in the sky, but now I know how to. Hoping it's a clear night tonight.

  • I saw it on a semi-clear night but each time I looked directly at it it friggin vanished and each time I looked away I saw a "white cloud" appear in the corner of my eye! How dare?!

  • wow-this is magnificent-THX a great deal!:)

  • Thanks to this video, I saw my first galaxy last night! Just a speck that wouldn't focus. Took forever to find it. Later when the moon was up, I found I could go right to it in a minute. 10" Dobsonian on order!

  • you know what? the hila people work at my school and teach me and my class from time to time 8D

  • Absolutely, life and probably billions of civilizations are out there however, many could have developed and then imploded, even the Greek civilization was only around for a few thousand years before it fell. So, we would have to find civilizations at exactly the same point in their development that we are...language? mathematics? computers? or more likely WAY ahead of us & maybe waiting for us to catch up! Think of the possibilities!

  • Brilliant video. :D
