Two Hours Before Neptune

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Before we get to Neptune, let's look at Polaris, the North Star. Tomorrow's image will highlight this unusual star. Polaris is the closest bright star to Earth's north spin axis, making it appear stationary as other stars rotate around it. This constant position has made it a crucial navigation point for millennia.
