The APOD for this week that I chose is titled, "From California to the Pleiades" The entry describes with detailed the size of the distance from the California Nebula to the Pleiades star cluster. According to the entry this is about a 400 light year distant. I think it's awesome to see how time and distance in space can expand so far. I think it's a tough topic to wrap my hand around but the APOD picture helps because I can see the two different celestial objects and connect them somehow.
