Astronomy Picture of the Day

On this Day in History:

1753 - 1st official St Patrick's Day
1756 - St Patrick's Day 1st celebrated in NYC at Crown & Thistle Tavern
1762 - 1st St Patrick's Day parade in NYC

Problem of the Day:
Ethan lives at one end of Park Avenue. Brian lives at the other end of the avenue. It is 5.8 kilometers from one end of Park Avenue to the other. If Ethan walks 2.79 kilometers toward Brian's house, how many more meters does he have to walk to get there?
