I hate these curved galaxy photos. I wish you folks would t post them anymore.

I like curved galaxy photos. I'm just a little less sure about aurora photos.
Oh, wait, this is not an aurora photo, it's STEVE photo... whatever. It's nice as long as I don't have to say anything smart about it. I'll let Steve speak for himself.
Oh, P.S., you knew I would say it, don't you? What's that blue smear at the very top of this image?
You know what it is, don't you? Say it! Say it!

So the "g" emoji didn't turn out the way I hoped, but today's APOD might help you decipher it...
I guessed the blue smear was Vega before deciphering your emoji-rebus solely based on your prior posts. Then I realized the meaning of the emojis:
Van,
Earth, Starry Sky?,
Apple. Interestingly, I only see the
galaxy emoji in the editing view of this post, and it transforms into a Starry Sky emoji after posting as you apparently also saw.
So, if Vega is the blue star toward the middle top, what's the blue star smear toward the left right?
Also, that little STEVE video was surprisingly pleasing. Still not sure what it's really about though
My goodness, Johnny,
that's Vega!!!!
Take a look at my cropped and clumsily annotated version of today's APOD. At left is the outline of Cygnus. The blue star at top is Delta Cygni, which, coincidentally, is pretty much exactly the same color as Vega. Lyra, on the other hand is at right, and Vega is the bright star at far right!!!
As for my emoji-rebus, the one that looks like a starry sky looked like a galaxy when I found it at
https://getemoji.com! So my rebus should read, Van, Earth, Galaxy, Apple.
Thanks for setting me straight!
P.S. I, too, thought the little Steve video was kind of funny. And it's less then two minutes long, too. "Hi, I'm Steve - just kidding, my name isn't Steve..." I thought that was appropriate for today's STEVE APOD!
