crescent V

2 and 4 hour renditions. The Crescent is a supernova remnant marking the rise of the milky way and too many stars for comfort season. Compared to the galaxies and the barren skies of spring, a close neighbour at just 4700 light years. First seen by Wilhelm Herschel observing from Slough in 1772.
