Re: APOD: 3D Ahuna Mons (2016 Mar 19)

Hi!
My "reply" is a Question! As follows:
May there be a relation of Ahuna Mons with that hole that is seen just alongside of it (to top-left)?
Could that hole be an impact crater?

My curiosity will apprecite any answer!

Might be that the 100 source images are slightly biased towards large, face on spirals and planetary nebula.
Yes, it may be. At least it sounds as possible ...

Thank you for your answer!

Re: APOD: Median Mashup: Hubble's Top 100 (2014 Sep 13)

This mashup is intriguing! It is not only a nice picture, but shows some details I wonder about. For example: what or why is that ring, roughly 1/2 of the picture in diameter, slightly to the left of picture center? Why is that ring depicted there? Why is there a change in color hue beyond that ring...
