If you could visit one place in space.....

To be in 'Space' anywhere where I can look at Earth and see it spinning in infinity.

I'm a little late to this party, but I'd like to see the night sky from a habitable planet, orbiting a star that lies towards the centre of a large globular cluster.

i wonder what that looks like - maybe a night sky full of stars as bright as venus,

perhaps u can read by starlight ! u might not see much deep space stuff though

if the sky is so bright.

You just made me think of the famous "Earthrise" picture from the Apollo:

That would be something!

What would the Milky Way look like from somewhere in Andromeda? I'm thinking we would look like even less of a smudge.

I think it would overall be a better sight. The MW doesn't appear so inclined from M31 as M31 does to us, so though the MW would have a lower surface brightness, it would be easier to see detail. The LMC and SMC would be visible in the same field of view in binoculars but not most scopes. M33 from M31 would be a bright needle galaxy, probably visible even from suburban skies.

Of the local group's major galaxies, M33 gets the best views. M31 would be a face-on spiral the size and brightness of the LMC from Earth. (Provided, of course, you aren't on the "far side" of M33, or the view may be obscured). The Milky Way would again be an obliquely viewed spiral, with the added bonus of M83 as an apparent companion just a degree or two away.

I would like to visit Mars.I am fascinated by the planet.I believe that humans will find lots of surprises when they get there.

Mars to see what happened to Beagle 2.

Mars to see what happened to Beagle 2.

I thought Beagle 3 was going to be a mission to see how big a hole Beagle 2 made when it "landed".

cafe at the end of the universe for me. get to see it all, and have a nice ethically correct meal with wine.
