Since its posting, the image has garnered over 1,122,815 likes and a range of amusing comments from space enthusiasts, including references to the famous song lyrics, “I’m burning through the sky, yeah!” and “Gonna make a supersonic moon outta you!” It’s clear that space and its wonders continue to captivate people.
