NASA shares post on 'parallax Effect'

It should be mentioned here that earlier in the month of September, NASA had shared a descriptive post on the 'parallax effect' stating "beware of photobombers." They shared a short video clip along with a detailed description. "While peering at galaxies far away, Hubble spotted several asteroids streaking across our solar system. Their “trails” are seen as curves across this Hubble view because of an effect called parallax," they wrote. Explaining further about the effect, they stated, "You can think of the parallax effect like this: You’re in a moving car, and trees by the side of the road look like they’re passing by faster than background objects at much larger distances. The motion of Earth around the Sun, and the motion of the asteroids along their orbits, also contribute to the apparent curve of the asteroid paths [sic]."
