"Many of us are staying home these days, and it's normal to feel kind of cooped up, yearning for wide open spaces and more distant horizons," the space agency wrote.

"So when you're looking westward in May's early evening sky, think about how you're looking outward through the disk of our galaxy, toward its outer edges, thousands of lightyears away," said NASA.
