According to Dr. John Pinkney, the Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. (It's "only" 2 million light years away!) The Astronomy Club will be present to point out this galaxy in the sky. The Andromeda Galaxy is just visible to the naked eye on a dark night, if you strain. Follow that up with views through binoculars and telescopes for the full Andromeda experience.
