Description
English: NASA's DART Captures One of Night Sky's Brightest Stars

On May 27, DART's high-resolution camera DRACO captured this image of Vega, one of the brightest stars in the night sky and one of the solar system's closest neighbors at just 25 light-years. The six spikes around the star result from light bouncing off of the structure that holds DRACO's second mirror in place.
