Andromeda is the spiral galaxy 225 million light years away from our star system.
Four billion years from now the two galaxies are predicted to crash together.
None of that will be there to witness that event.
When I was a kid in the 1950s, Marvel Comics came out with a story NEXT YEAR ANDROMEDA.
225 million light-years in one year means a vessel would have to cover over 60,000 light-years a day.
Is that possible?
Not with our technology.
This week Voyager 2 left the solar system.
The NASA space probe was launched in 1977
It has passed Jupiter.
Saturn.
Uranus.
Neptune.
And now into Deep Space.
Joining the other five vessel to achieve departure from the heliosphere.
Most people have no idea of this accomplishment.
Next year Andromeda.
Especially with Julie Chrystie.
