Starship Asterisk*

There i found the [url=http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap051105.html]original one[/url]

Isn't this image being repeated?
I do remember seeing it a few months back along with the same description, I could tell what was written without even reading it.(or is it a Deja vu?)

oh look, they have patched apod to show same images.

[quote="FieryIce"]the Spanish mirror site has the missing Pod’s.[/quote]es, and I wonder how come. They could have direct database connection, so that web server problems would not affect them; or, they could simply pick random past image.

Nice image!!!
The MANICOUAGAN CRATER really shows up well all iced over http://www.unb.ca/passc/ImpactDatabase/images/manicouagan.htm

APOD was down for some time over this last weekend so using some links suggested by Asterick posters the Spanish mirror site has the missing Pod’s. This one for the 15th is interesting since the discussion recently has been about NLC’s (NoctiLucent clouds). The altitude of auroras is 50 km to as high as 500 km and NLC’s are at an altitude of 50 to 85 km. Aurora’s are supposed to be the result of charged particles whereas NLC’s are ice crystals or moisture covering a dust particle. Logically it would seem there would be a relationship between these two phenomena since they occupy overlapping altitudes. Aurora’s occur in northern and southern hemispheres where they are called Aurora borealis (Artic) and Aurora australis (Antarctic) wouldn’t NLC’s occur in both hemispheres also?
