A beautiful photograph. Reminds me as a kid; wishing on a star. Mars and especially Venus were often the first visible stars at night.

todays APOD The Last Titan
What a beautiful view of a rocket launch. With booster technology not changing much over the years; why drop the Titan?

It may be a star; but I don't believe so. Its too fuzzy; unless a star in nova. Look at Makc's inset; it looks as though there are filaments associated around it. That makes me believe that the filament is associated with the object below it.

A Highway to the Stars would be a good name for this pair of galaxies. It looks like they may have actually touched on their way by each other.

There doesn't seem to be very much dust in this galaxy. This gives it a lot of transparency.
