Look how much the moon has rotated! The sea that's at 12 o'clock today was past 1 o'clock 4 years ago.

What's up with that???

Re: APOD: WISE Infrared Andromeda (2010 Feb 19)

So obviously, we're looking at M31 through a veil of foreground stars that live in our own galaxy.

But are some of those dots actually other galaxies in the far distance? I'm thinking specifically about that red dot just above M31 and a little right of center.
