Starship Asterisk*

Very interesting moon. The image shows many craters on one side and no craters on the other - as if it was a fresh "clean" surface. Poor Mimas looks all beat up.

PS - the dead parrot sketch was a blast from the past.

Oh my - another wonderful image. Guess I'm partial to nebulas.

Hubble keeps on amazing - what a team effort. Beautiful image.

And thank you geckzilla for the "blink" image, that was also very informative.

We love visiting APOD each day, and the explainations are always clear and the links are both fun and informative. Thank you.

That link got me laughing.

Great APOD photo today, love it.

Happy April 1st.

Oh my - it looks like a giant flying saucer! Lovely combo from Hubble/Chandra.

Inspiration for small telescope owners (wishing for clear dark nights.)

Very nice - really enhances the dust. Wish there was more info about the "how" this image was created.

Thank you APOD for another beautiful image.

This inspires us to get back to our analema project. We have tried this a few times, and after 6 months found out the camera was in the wrong place and either the winter or summer solstice suns were outside of the field of view we set up. (The first one was started in the summer and missed the winte...

This "video" is both art and science (in my very humble opinion) - showing the reason for our seasons.

Even though I can't wrap my mind around the science, the search is fascinating.

Lovely presentation (and a lot of work stitching it together!) At Mr. Brady's site we really like the Devil's Tower photo - very "starry night-ish'.

A bit confusing at first (comparing to older APODs of the Antennae Galaxies) but didn't take long to figure out. What an amazing image!

Last evening we were reading through the various theories of how the moon was formed, so seeing this image today was very special. Thank you APOD for bringing us another piece of our astronomy history!

You folks never cease to amaze us with wonderful images of our fascinating universe!

Beautiful photo of a beautiful "flower" of a galaxy.

Wow - watched the video over and over. Another great APOD - thanks!

A beautiful "image" and much care and time involved.

Lovely photo - for some reason the phrase 'Genetic Drift' comes to mind.

Oh my - that is just lovely!

Great image. Would like to know more about what equipment the astrophotographer used. Can't find any info on the photo at his website (great website too!)

A stunning and very informative image.

Very lovely photo!

Lovely photo.
