The nebula below is NGC 6979, which is adjacent to the Western Veil Nebula. NGC 6979 is a supernova remnant that is still blasting into interstellar space at 170 kilometers per second after a stellar explosion 5,000 to 8,000 years ago. The nebula is 2,600 light-years from Earth and 2.3 light-years in diameter. Portions of Pickering’s Triangle appear in the upper right of the image.

This speech clearly articulates how far this country has come from the pandemic and the mess Trump created. Another example of how the excellent current economic conditions in this country gets under reported.
