Astronomy picture of the day. Like the rainbows the other day, (meteorology picture of the day?), the astronomical pedgree of the volcano picture, (geological picture of the day?), is somewhat lacking.
There have been many
APOD's which have little or nothing to do with astronomy is all I'm saying.
Ah, but APOD originates from NASA doesn't it?
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
They are concerned with other things than just space exploration. Not least is the weather and other things which may affect space flight and launches.
And one of the reasons they go up there is to better understand our own planet.
Yeah, its not comets and stars, but it is relevant to APOD.
