Sometimes my columns are in-depth, sometimes simpler. This is the latter of the two. If you go out late at night, you will see a pretty neat alignment of three objects almost straight overhead. kAm%96 =67E>@DE @7 E96 E9C66 :D E96 A=2?6E |2CD] x HC@E6 :? 2 AC6G:@FD 4@=F>? 23@FE 9@H |2CD :D >@C6 A:?< E92?

It’s the most beautiful photograph you’ve ever seen. Reds, greens, blues, yellows, pinks — every color of the rainbow and in between — forming a luminous curtain amid a backdrop of hundreds of stars. kAm%96 ?@CE96C? =:89ED 2C6 2=H2JD 2 3C62E9E2<:?8 D:89E — 2?5 E92E ?@E:@? 92D ?6G6C 366? >@C6 AC@?@F?465 E92?
