Neufer: I think you have your APOD labels wrong. It should be:
NGC 4676: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap020506.html (Mice)
ARP 188: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060108.html (Tadpole)

The Orion Deep Field (APOD 2007 Jan 6) is the same orientation as Orion's Horsehead Nebula (APOD 2008 Feb 21). The belt stars clearly extend up and to the left.
I think the star above the Horsehead may be Sigma Orionis. See Reflections on the Horsehead Nebula (APOD 2005 Nov 30).

Did you see the moon during totality? Toronto was well within the path of totality. A total eclipse looks red because the only light reaching the moon is filtered thru the earths atmosphere, similar to the color of the sun at sunrise or sunset. If you were viewing it before (or after) totality, dire...

I have a link I use to quickly check for any new posts in any forum since I last logged in. Sometimes some of the other NSL forums show up, but most of the time it's just the Cafe and APOD.

I believe there is only one belt star, Alnitak (eastern most), to the left of the Horsehead and above the Flame Nebula. I think the next two belt stars to the west, Alnilam and Mintaka, would be off the page to the upper left corner.

An infinite number of monkeys with typewriters (Monkius typeriterus) is a discovery made in the late 1984 by the famous Guatemalan explorer Cher, after her plane crashed in the New Jersey and she accidentally discovered the gates of hell, which were surrounded by monkeys (it is said that these monk...

FI, I'm willing to listen to anyone's theory with an open mind if they provide me with backing evidence. If your theories were so obvious and self evident, wouldn't you have more believers. Provide the evidence. Don't be a Harry, or worse still, a GOD. :wink: I fully support your right to believe an...

It would be absurd and egotistic to think Earth is the only inhabited planet... This applies to discussing other races and a scientific examination of who or what they are, from their behaviorisms to their biological makeup. Our distant ancestors recorded interactions with different ones with techn...

ahh.. this seems to answer my question from another topic about today's APOD image, the red and blue nebulae creating a purplish glow where it mixes. But is that what's really going on in a false-color image? Is red and blue making purple? Would yellow and blue make green? Or are the colors from a ...

Here is an interesting graph that may not shed much light on the last thousand years, or the fact that greenhouse gasses are at their highest levels in over 650,000 years, just for lack of detail but it does take the record back 400,000 years or so based on Antarctic ice core samples. It certainly ...
