Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Andromeda and Virgo are approximately six months apart in their visibility in the night sky. When Virgo is high in the sky at midnight, Andromeda is on the opposite side of the Earth, making it high in the sky at noon, and therefore not visible due to the sunlight.
