Years ago, now, I had the chance to show a few 3rd year geology students I was tutoring, M31 from out near Mt Isa. Should have seen their faces when I pointed out to them this elongated "cloud" they could see out in the NE, at the time, was the galaxy. They didn't believe me at first because it was so large, but I convinced them by showing them a star chart.
