Yes, APOD posted M1 six days ago. This is a different photo. Why post it so soon again? I do not know.

As to why, I don’t know. Maybe there are fewer interesting (i.e Messier) objects in the fall sky and this one is one of the best.
However if you go to the APOD link there are 2 views of it in different light, just move your cursor on and off the image. You can see some expansion of the nebula even over a short period of time. It’s changing faster than most things we see in the night sky. It also shows off the differences in what we can see via the Webb vs. Hubble telescopes.

It would be cool to see a supernova. We may have a chance to see one next year. A star in the constellation Corona Borealis ,called T CrB is suspected of being a “recurring” nova. It has a track record of getting super bright every 80 years, and its next chance is expected to be next year.
