Question of the day : How far is the Moon from planet Earth?

While appearing as a delicate and light veil draped across the sky, this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope actually depicts a small section of the Cygnus supernova blast wave, located around 2,400 light-years away. The name of the supernova remnant comes from its position in the northern constellation of Cygnus (the Swan), where it covers an area 36 times larger than the full Moon.

Perseid Meteor Shower 2021 by Jeff Sullivan (https://ift.tt/1cpZOga) On the second best night of the 2021 Perseid meteor shower, one night before peak, we had some luck in this location in Nevada, despite some wildfire smoke.

I’ll have some time-lapse footage available shortly. https://flic.kr/p/2mhjQJg
