!['Eclipse wedding
The Earth, Moon, and Sun aligned perfectly for a pair of Arizona newlyweds last night. Photographer Jake Bacon worked out the exact angle where the eclipsed Moon would rise over @[129502213768772:274:Antelope Point Marina] at Lake Powell, and then used a 300mm f/2.8 lens at f/11 to catch this cosmic wedding photo.

Pegasus flies in with fall
Look high in the southeast after darkness tonight, and you should see autumn’s most conspicuous star group. The Great Square of Pegasus stands out in the evening sky at this time of year, though it appears balanced on one corner and looks more diamond-shaped. These four almost equally bright stars form the body of Pegasus the Winged Horse. The fainter stars that represent the rest of this constellation’s shape trail off to the square’s west.
