Bee-utiful!
Thanks!

41 years ago today, these three guys were launched on the first ever manned flight to the moon:

The crew of Apollo 8
L-r: James A. Lovell, Jr., Command Module Pilot; William A. Anders, Lunar Module Pilot; Frank F. Borman II, Commander.

Oh my gosh, so beautiful. Thanks.

I suspect that there are a lot of planetary bodies that form in an area like that as well. After all, there’s no real reason to believe that a planet must form around a star.

That picture does really make ya wonder!
