Everyone talks about how huge Andromeda will look in the sky billions of years from now. I present you what the Milky Way *currently* looks like in the skies of our neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud. We appear absolutely huge in their skies! [Simulated view]Craigg75 t1_jdtpux4 wrote
Actually you wouldn't be able to see it because there is not enough photons reaching your eye. If you kept a camera film exposed over several hours you would see the image of the galaxy. It's a sad fact that we will never see a galaxy with our eyes even if Andromeda was almost on top of us.

We can already see Andromeda with the naked eye, no?

Andromeda is typically the farthest object you can see with the naked eye from a dark site. Even from a bortle 2/3 site its naked eye.
You have no idea what youre talking about
