APOD: 2022 June 4 - Tau Herculids from Space

Good afternoon, Rallypoint, and welcome to the June 4th edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD): "Tau Herculids from Space." We saw a terrestrial take on the Herculid meteor shower earlier this week (on June 1st). We see a space-based image of the Herculids from the YangWang-1 (not to be confused with Fang Fang) space telescope, the first commercial Chinese astronomical satellite in the optical band (visible light and ultraviolet wide field of view). YangWang-1 was launched in November 2021.
