I also agree with Richard! I made a similar complaint once when the APOD was a picture of an airplane belching smoke out of its end (to trick radar? I don't remember) but I got flamed down because of it was supposedly connected with aeronautics..... but yes, I would indeed like to hear what this big...

I agree that APOD usually offers high-quality material, so maybe I should have bitten my tongue over this one. I have no complaint about APOD doing pictures on aeronautic subjects, but as far as I can remember these have featured rockets, the space shuttle, satellites or other technologies that actu...

not astronomy (APOD 22 Aug 2006)
This APOD is just a plug for "cool" military technology and has nothing to do with astronomy at all. I know APOD sometimes does clouds but at least those are natural atmospheric phenomena. This is just air pollution intentionally belched out the end of a warplane. If it has anything whatso...

Lamest APOD ever
I agree with Stardance..... I haven't seen it or heard it, all I get is a black box with the windows media logo in the middle, maybe because I don't have broadband. I can't stand TV .... you'd think you'd be safe going to a site dedicated to " picture of the day" but I guess not...... I'm ...

Thank you Pete, I understood that the arrows pointed at fragments of the comet, but the giant colored dots were really bizarre... I just visited the ESO website and confirmed your explanation. Now I am even more surprised at the fact that the big dots didn't come in for any kind of explanation in th...

Enceladus Near Saturn (APOD 3/22)
Am I the only one who can't see the planet Saturn in the background, neither the ring shadow nor terminator?

witch head
It does look like a witch head, but it's the wrong way around. Rotate image 90 degrees counterclockwise and you will see the witch!
