Good Red Friday morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Comet NEOWISE from the ISS." This image of Comet NEOWISE was taken onboard the International Space Station (ISS) on July 5th. Venus is to the right of the comet, and the seven sisters of the Pleiades are above Venus. NEOWISE remains in the pre-dawn skies from Earth, and will be highest in the dawn sky around July 11. Then it will gradually approach the horizon each day. By mid July (around July 12-15), the comet becomes visible at dusk (look northwest).

APOD background
"Explanation: Rounding the Sun on July 3rd and currently headed for the outer Solar System, Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) has been growing brighter in the predawn skies of planet Earth. From low Earth orbit it also rises before the Sun, captured above the approaching glow along the eastern horizon in this snapshot from the International Space Station on July 5. Venus, now Earth's morning star is the brilliant celestial beacon on the right in the field of view. Above Venus you can spot the sister stars of the more compact Pleiades cluster. Earthbound skygazers can spot this comet with the unaided eye, but should look for awesome views with binoculars."

Thank you for sharing the video with us. It reflects how I feel because of the callousness of so many who don't appreciate that we were given custodianship and we haven't done our part to protect what belongs to us all, our home, our planet. May God, the Great Spirit, watch over you and grant you peace.
