Love the note that its light comes from when trees were first beginning on Earth. Great thought.

Re: Favorite APOD

Kind of new here but have been looking at APOD every day for over 20 years, my favorite was the Deep Field that was followed by the Ultra Deep Field.

Is it reasonable to say that all stars will have planets?

I find it odd to near impossibility that no other devises of similar age and complexity have been found in other wrecks or excavations. It it screams that mixed vintages are at play.

Rob,

Yes, you might be right. On further enlargement it kind of looks that way, but it sure is different from all else in the photo -that's why it caught my eye.

Re: Layered Hills on Mars (APOD 2009 November 29)

I look at the ABOD every day and have for years now. This is one of my favorites. Glad to have a chance to discuss apod pics. My question, which I asked through one of the original picture submitting experts to no avail, is just what is the football shaped object at the bottom of the "lake"...
