In ancient star lore, Andromeda is the daughter of Cassiopeia. Andromeda is chained to a rock and is about to be devoured by Cetus the sea monster. Fortunately, Perseus rescues her from that fate! The Andromeda Galaxy (a spiral galaxy which is 2.2 million light years away and is twice as big as our Milky Way galaxy) appears next to the Andromeda constellation. With good eyes, the galaxy can be seen if you have good eyesight. It will appear as a fuzzy object as opposed to the pinpoint stars surrounding it. The Spitzer telescope revealed an astonishing one trillion stars in Andromeda galaxy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60256dce56908268b56234d2/1623781169996-PH7E41IND72AXC208KOW/202004242020-8_low+res+%281%29+%281%29.jpg Blog - SKYWATCH: October 2021 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60256dce56908268b56234d2/1633540593038-0Z0TNH6199PY3PD7V8US/Image-1.jpeg Blog - SKYWATCH: October 2021 - Make it stand out “Shimmering tree…they are no footsteps around…but fallen leaves” -www.haikupoemsandpoets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60256dce56908268b56234d2/1633542600305-UPDXXI7H718N8N9CG7O8/Andromeda+Galaxy.jpg Blog - SKYWATCH: October 2021 - Make it stand out (Photo taken by Lake City Skies) Pictured is the Andromeda Galaxy – In 3.5 billion years, it will merge with our Milky Way galaxy.

Light pollution is any artificial light that is not needed and becomes a pollutant that has serious and harmful consequences. Light pollution: Disrupts the natural cycles of wildlife and plants. Impacts human health (such as sleep disorders and depression). Wastes money and energy (as much as 50% of outdoor lighting is squandered. Blocks out our view of the universe (most people have never seen the Milky Way galaxy – our home galaxy). Over 80% of the world’s population lives under a light-polluted sky. Light pollution is increasing at an alarming rate. Have a neighbor that leaves their lights on all night and prevents you from seeing the stars and inhibits you from getting a good night’s sleep? Here is a link for some information that may help: My Neighbor's Lighting | International Dark-Sky Association Ways to preserve our scenic night skies. We all should have the freedom to view the stars from our own property. We can all do our part in preventing light pollution and protecting our beautiful nocturnal landscape. Here are some steps you can take to keep the night sky dark: Assess your outdoor lighting around your residence or business. Poor lighting creates light pollution, emits blinding glare, and wastes enormous amounts of energy. Use only light what you need the light. Use energy efficient low wattage light bulbs. Shield light fixtures so that light is directed down and not up. Use an automatic timer or motion detector to use light only when you need it. Ask the question, do we even need outdoor lighting? Encourage your neighbors to participate in smart outdoor lighting. Assist your local government with ways to improve lighting ordinances.
