Favorite APOD

This Photo says a lot to me,including the dreams of Man to reach and understand the Stars,and Universe we live in.
Grounded on Earth by the very Physical forces which exist throughout the Universe we nonetheless reach as far as we can using the power of
Light

Sorry, I can't pick one -its like trying to pick your favorite child. So many of these picts are History-in-the-Making. Never before has the public had such fast access to new discoveries.

Re: Favorite APOD
That was always one of my favorites too!! A striking image for sure. I like it because while black and white images usually seem to have less flare for astronomy, in this one the shimmer of the stars seems to be brought out even more.Sowndbyte wrote:just thought I would start a post about the subject.

This is one of my favorites, the Pleiades star cluster.

Has any one else done a "photo stitch" on that line to see what it comes togeather as?
Yep, a crater chain.
EDITED TO ADD
Hey makc, hope yah catch this.
Read what is wrote at the JPL place,
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bi ... l?PIA02960
Using the raw image files they can do wonders.
We get to see just a couple renditions of it.
There are several interesting features, especially along that "data drop out" line on the left.
