In a dark place you can see a whole lot more than that with the naked eye, including some distant galaxies.

- denton-scratch 4y ago> including some distant galaxies "Distant" only in the sense that all galaxies are distant. You can see Andromeda and the Magellanic Clouds with the naked eye. You can see the Orion Nebula (but that's not a galaxy). There might be a handful of other nearby galaxies that you can see with the naked eye, I don't know.
- User23 4y agoIf it’s dark enough Triangulum is naked eye visible too. Sure those are all in some sense local, but it’s still neat to see almost three million year old light.
