Wonderful photo of one of my favorite nebulas. Learn something new every time I come to APOD.
Thanks!

Beautiful image with lots going on!
Someone mentioned the magnetic +/- of our poles - the geologist in the house reminded me that the poles "flip" over geologic time.

Nice work Geck! Today's APOD, its discussion and links were especially well done. As almost every day they provide an encyclopedia's worth of knowledge for one willing to look and explore the vast wealth of understanding of our existence in the universe. Thanks to all the staff for you daily effort...

Enjoyed the video, even tho we have seen many time lapse night sky videos, this one was unique. Imagining what the group of 3 is "listening" to. (And wondering if #4 is also busy?) We have also seen the polls showing that our fellow Americans are either ignorant of astronomy or its not imp...

I picked neither yes nor no because, to be frank, I had never explicitly noticed the leading question format until you called attention to it with this poll! I quite enjoy the write-ups as they are, and as the format has been quite transparent to me, I have to say, "If it ain't broke, don't fi...

Our slow bandwidth can't handle the streaming video, but once in a while we do get a beautiful (and literally moving) image.
