APOD 10 May 2006
In the description, it talks about a "prominent red knot on the right", but none of the red knots on the right are especially prominent, IMHO. Was the red knot towards the left the one that was supposed to be referred to? That one is very prominent. Any clarity would be appreciated.... Oh ...

The circular asterism is indeed unusual! :D I, OTOH, would like to know which galaxy it is that looks as though it's about to be devoured by that cometary globule. Any help? EDIT: Nevermind, I found a detailed explanation here: http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/html/im1000.html Hope that works. Anyw...

19Oct05 - Today's APoD
I had to stop my vehicle this morning to get a look at the close proximity of the Moon and Mars. Also took in Saturn, looking all bright and sparkly! Orion looked magnificent between them. Plus, I even saw the flash of an Orionid! What a perfect way to start the (boring!) work day!

Today's APoD
I read the description for today's Astronomy Pic of the Day, and shouldn't the location of the supernova be almost directly below the center of the galaxy? The location listed has it being on "the right", but I see only a slight difference in a 'bright spot' on the right. Could there be tw...
