This guy has clearly never even looked at the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). He says to look near Sagittarius. You can't see ANY external galaxies near Sagittarius because that is the direction of the densest part of the Milky Way and the interstellar dust blocks the view. M51 is in the opposite direction, near the end of the handle of the Big Dipper. He says it is visible naked-eye. It's not. He calls the view "stunning and breathtaking" implying he has looked at it himself. I don't have a clue what this guy was looking at, but he is not being honest with his readers. It is ironic that In the end he uses this account to promote some kind of "proof" that Christianity is true, yet he bases his argument on lies (about his own supposed experiences) and bizarre misinformation about the object that is the subject of this article. Weird! Truly Weird.

BTW, M51 was discovered by Charles Messier in 1773. That doesn't qualify as "Newly Discovered."
