The Astronomy Pictures of the Year (2007)
They are really good choices. I especially liked many of the images of Comet McNaught, since I never had a good view of it here in my location, and was glad to see that it was one of the first ones included. Plus, the "Dark Sky Over Death Valley" was another excellent choice. I'm sure it w...

Now, I'll hazard a guess that it's another aurora that was caught in the image, and it just so happens to bear an uncanny resemblance to a comet. As others have postulated, if it were an actual comet, we'd have heard/read about it on the many other space/astronomy websites that are out there. And bt...

How does APoD find these pictures? I know that many of the 'credit/copyright' lines directly beneath the images have the imager's info/website(s) listed, but in this case, it does not. So how would they have found this image? (Plus, I was interested in the specifics of the image, and will probably ...

Why is the date of the original post - Wed Dec 08, 2004 12:03 am - from so long ago? I wasn't able to view the 'youtube' video (not allowed at work!), and couldn't get the other link to open (stoopid pc!) but it sounds like it could've been those anticrepuscular clouds makc refers to.

Hello everybody, My favorite has to be this one: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070508.html What an expansive, absolutely gorgeous sky! Where I live, it doesn't look like that, which is another reason I especially enjoy APoD's! Keep up the great work! :D and re: the earthrise pic, why wasn't it ...

Mountain Moonrise (APOD 07 June 2007)
Tunc Tenzel, the person that takes these images, is one great photographer!
I really enjoy when he/she is featured for the APoD.....

Another plume, likely from the volcano Masubi, is illuminated by Jupiter just above this lower right edge.

Welcome aweisberg, One of the links in the description, http://www.skyfactory.org/vela/vela.htm gives a bit more info about the size of the image. More specifically, it's stated that the image is 19 times the size of the full moon, which is a minor difference, I know. Scrolling down a bit on that pa...

Wadsworth,
Have you seen this?

I found it very interesting, informative and pretty easy to understand. It has quite a few links to check out, as well.
Happy reading!

Belt of Venus, of smog! (APOD 15Jun06)
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html Reading the description for the APoD, I sort of chuckled when it mentioned the Belt of Venus. Only because where I live, (about 50 miles south-ish of Baltimore, MD, USA), we have a 'belt of smog'. Seriously! As I head to work in the morning, I steal gl...
