Starship Asterisk*

Charming and very cute. One of APoDs best.

Congratulations! This is funny, whimsical, clever and romantic!

APOD PUBLISHES AN UNREAL COSMOLOGY, top-to-bottom.

It's so sad to see. No way in hell water can stick to the bottom of ANY sphere, let along a spinning sphere.

Don't you have a washing machine at home? Spinning squirts the water out the sides. Duh.

Bill Bryson and other videographers bring the lunar surface up close and personal.

So you can see who's up there.

Stop gaming us.

By the position of the "rabbit", it is a sunset
By the light angle, it is the northern hemisphere (obviating the information)
The marked angle (approx) corresponds to the latitude of the place
