Things you may not know about the APOD page

Beneath the "Tomorrow's picture:" line, which is under the explanatory text, are navigation and other links.

The arrows at either end of the links line are for navigation to the APODs for the previous and next day, respectively.

The Discuss link brings you here, to Starship Asterisk; specifically, it takes you to the discussion thread for that day's APOD. [attachment=2]APOD links discuss.JPG[/attachment]

From that thread, you can go to the forum index page (Board Index) and then into different areas to

• read breaking space news
• see new images from major telescopes and images recently submitted for consideration as an APOD
• find out how to participate in science projects
• take an introductory astronomy course or a course on extraordinary topics in physics
• and specifically for professional astrophysicists, browse the Astronomy Source Code Library.

Interested in finding out how to submit an image, who writes APOD, where the mirror sites are, how else APOD is accessible, and about image permissions? Click on the About APOD link. That will take you to a page with a lot of information on it; there's a link on the About APOD page to the FAQ page, too.
