Re: APOD: Saturn: Shadows of a Seasonal Sundial (2011 Oct 12

I gave my $400.00 telescope away several years ago after I started watching IPOD. What good does it do to see a little pin prick of light through a telescope when IPOD gives you the whole enchilada 8-). Thanks NASA team.

Re: APOD: QR Codes: Not for Human Eyes (2011 Oct 04)

Thanks Chris. That's exactly how I feel. Where do all these unregistered people come from anyhow? Probably from their mommas basement. Probably just one or two and switching their identities :?. Thanks today's APOD people. Now if I ever get a smart phone I'll know how to check a bar code.

A nice apod. Anyone who doesn't like any picture that comes up can just go to the archives and I'm sure you can find enough astronomy pictures to last you all day. Anyone shouldn't come to a free site and bellyache about it. :?

Re: APOD: Metal on the Plains of Mars (2011 Jul 31)

I know it looks like a meteorite but how do you know it's composition? Huh, Jerry? How? They examined it. Read about it here . As for where the crater might be, it's probably long gone; remember Mars has atmosphere and dust and dust storms. And freezing and thawing that can bring buried things to t...

Re: APOD: Milky Way Over Abandoned Kilns (2011 Jul 25)

Thanks, Tom McEwan that's very nice. I'm surprised at the very pristine condition the kilns are in. It must have been very messy around there back in the day. Those Masons certainly knew what they were doing. Thanks too, Ann for your very informative input. Oh...and the stars were nice too.

Why is it named "Eight Burst"? I know there is a good reason. I just don't know what it is. :?
