Good morning RP. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "The North America Nebula in Infrared." The North America Nebula (NGC 7000) spans about 50 light years and lies about 1,500 light years away toward the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus). By viewing it in infrared light, the Spitzer Space Telescope has peeled away much of the dust and uncovered thousands of newly formed stars. Roll your cursor over the colored infrared image on the APOD home page will bring up a corresponding optical image of the same region for comparison.

Good morning Maj William W. 'Bill' Price!!! What an outstanding APOD for this Sunday...simply amazing... I found its video companion from the Spitzer space telescope, which provides the parallel as to why this Nebula is called the North American Nebula...It is very intriguing... I am sure your followers, including me, will enjoy it as much as I did when I watched it... I hope you have an awesome Sunday, Bill! https://youtu.be/jLwWbUwjpIE
