Re: APOD: At the Core of NGC 6752 (2012 Feb 10)

100 thousand stars within 100 light years. Here, near Sol, it is the only star within 4.6 light years. There are 1,000 stars/1 light year there and 1 star/9 light years here.....9,000 times more stars in that region of space than ours! I wonder what the night sky would look like there......

Full Moon next to Venus???? (APOD 23 Apr 2008)

Looks like a full moon next to Venus... which can never happen. So is this an altered picture without credit to that effect?
