  "account": "Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day, featured on November 12, 2026, showcases a celestial alignment involving the Moon, Venus, and Spica. The image, captured in Poland, displays the crescent Moon above the Tatra Mountains, with Venus positioned close to the horizon below. To the left of Venus, the bright star Spica from the constellation Virgo can be observed. Spica is a notable star, being one of the brightest in the sky, located approximately 250 light-years away from Earth. Recent findings revealed that Spica actually belongs to a triple star system, comprising two massive blue stars in orbit around each other every four days.",
