When I want to close out the day with an image of space, I ask: What’s the most awe-inspiring thing I can share to help turn our eyes upward?
Somehow, it's always an image taken from Earth. Like here, the band of Milky Way and our own black hole, the Lagoon and Trifid (I think?), even the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies dancing around our own.
Sending love and light to everyone feeling the weight of today. May all of us find peace on this fragile, precious, world of ours.
