Southern Exposure
Posted by cafuego on Monday 2 January 2017.
From time to time you see photos pop up on the internet that show off bits of the northern sky. A good example is a montage of the Moon and Andromeda that show what size Andromeda would be in the sky, if only it were actuallty visible to the naked eye.
Bad Astronomy did a blog post on that one and explained that though the image is fake, the relative sizes are pretty much correct.
However, that's not a lot of use to us poor people in the southern hemisphere that can't even see Andromeda at the best of times. What even are these northerners talking about?
