dardo da Vinci?
You have one too many d's in Leonardo da Vinci's name. Remember proofreading is your friend!
One thing I wonder about the editing process. Sometimes a typo gets discovered and fixed on the "APOD Robot" post on this discussion page, but still remains incorrect on the APOD page itself. One wonders that they can be out of synch like that. I suppose they are separate copies, and one copy may be more trouble to change than the other (?)
They are separate, and need to be corrected separately. Usually, only the main APOD page gets corrected, not the copy here in Asterisk that gets grabbed off that page by Otto every midnight.
Hmmm ... but in this case, it is the opposite -- the copy in Asterisk has been corrected, but the main page has not.
I suspect that someone like geck has corrected it here, but that only RNJ or JTB update the main one, and they may not listen in on Asterisk with as much attention. It would be nice if someone could edit them both, or one auto-updated the other, but ... I guess it's a separation of duties.
