Star of the week: Deneb
Deneb is one of the most distant stars you'll ever see with your eye alone.

Tonight … Look toward our galaxy’s center  
View larger. | Milky Way over Grand Teton National Park, in Wyoming. Many astrophotographers visited Wyoming to view the August 21 total solar eclipse. Chirag Upreti shot this image on August 22. He said: “The Milky Way was near vertical over the Teton range, casting a reflection on Jackson Lake! On the lake shore, the silhouettes of some astrophotographers can be seen as they snap away this gorgeous view.”
