From the #Sky5 video, we all knew how powerful the devastating explosion was at AES in Bucksnort Friday. According to #USGSEarthquakes, it registered on the richter scale with the power of a 1.6 magnitude earthquake. Continued prayers to families, friends & co-workers. #NC5 #AES

On any autumn or winter evening, scan between Cassiopeia and Perseus for the magnificent #DoubleCluster in #Perseus. The #stars in these 2 clusters are young, hot supergiant suns that are many thousands of times more luminous than our sun. 🌌🔭
