We’ll let different publications give you a day by day horoscope.

Good morning. It is January 15, and immediately’s picture involves us from Playa Grande, Mexico.

I understand that some readers could also be tiring of seeing the Milky Method Galaxy, however not me! I like pictures of our galaxy and so they’re frequently featured within the Day by day Telescope. Nonetheless, this photograph is actually particular, because it highlights not simply the heavens above, however one of many wonders right here on Earth.

Alfonso Tamés despatched me this picture, and I can not get sufficient of it. The photograph showcases each our galaxy and a little bit of the Orion Nebula within the sky and bioluminescence within the ocean—that’s mild being emitted by marine life within the sea.
