Lots of Astronomy readers know about one of our great friends and contributors, Sheldon Reynolds, who is a legendary guitarist and former member of Earth, Wind, & Fire and The Commodores. Sheldon loves astronomy — he recently sponsored a contest in which he gave away several signed copies of his very cool CD, Feel Good, and he wrote an accompanying essay on the Moon, “The wonder of our nearest neighbor.” For more on the contest, see www.Astronomy.com/FeelGood.
Sheldon recently sent me this very cool shot of Orion, one of his favorite constellations, which I want to share with you.
Enjoy!
