Starship Asterisk*

I'd like to move it to one of the Lagrangian points in Earth/Moon orbit, where it would live in perpetuity - until a space rock hits it, that is.

Just enjoy the ride with this APOD. That's what we do here on Planet Earth anyway, as we hurtle through the solar system / galaxy / universe / multiverse.

I just have to say "Wow!" This is much more like a work of art than a simple pin-hole camera photograph. My hat's off to the photographer.

I was going to make a comment on all of these comments, actually on the original, refreshingly different choice of the Dancing People video by APOD, but I don't think a single thing has been left unsaid. Well, except maybe this: "Dance as if no one is watching ..." Maybe some aliens are wa...
