I'm going to make a special request: I know some of you know a lot about astronomy, and others don't.
If you're in the latter group, or even in the former, here's a good site to visit. You'll learn about common misconceptions concerning all aspects of astronomy. It's also a good source of info to refute the tinfoil ("Apollo was a fake!") crowd.

Here's the site: Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy

Isn't Andromeda the Galaxy that the Milky Way is eventually going to collide with? My poor brain may have dropped a stitch but I try to visualize us all making an intergalactic journey when I watch too much network news...Keeps me from chewing the scenery in my apt;-D

Thanks 'tunia! &;-)

To behold the wandering Moon,
Riding near her highest noon,
Like one that has been led astray
Through the heav'n's wide pathless way.

-John Milton (1608-1674)
