Good afternoon, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "The Galaxy, the Planet, and the Apple Tree." You can likely see something similar off of Alan K.'s back deck during the summertime (taken in June 2020). Looking south from Dover, Nova Scotia, this composite image captures the constellation Scorpius (Antares) on the right, Milky Way in the center, and Jupiter (left) impersonating an ornament hanging in an apple tree. The astro-photographer (Kristine Rose) lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and advertises her work on a personal web site. It's worth a look (she is quite talented) if you'd like a short mental vacation from heat, rain, or both.

Good afternoon, Maj William W. 'Bill' Price! As I examined the APOD image in some detail, I found it absolutely mesmerizing as it incorporates so much into one frame! Here is what I saw:
1) An amazing capture of the Milky Way Galaxy in all of its grandeur
2) The star Antares in the upper right
3 ) Planet Jupiter
4) A perfectly calm river, pond or lake reflecting the Milky Way's celestial image.
5) A tree with a seemingly hanging reflection of Jupiter
6) Tremendous detail of the reflected forest along the water's banks
It was a delight to see this image...Bill...
