Re: Bugs? Problems? Report them here!
Hi everyone, Not sure if it's just me but I have problems using the Next and Back arrows when I'm viewing APOD on my mobile phone - the > and < symbols are just too small for my fat fingers... Would it be possible to add the words NEXT & BACK so that it's easier to select them? tmp-cam-966800270...

Hi guys! Judging by the lack of comments on today's APOD there's more than one wrong link on the page! The previous, next (<,>) and Discuss links are all left over from yesterday's APOD. Or do I have a problem with my browser? :-)) Best wishes, and thanks for the great self portrait of "Curosit...

AFAIK, the upward strike starts when one of the downward strikes reaches the ground; (this can be clearly seen at 0:07) rather than "suddenly appearing positive spike moving up from the ground" as in the description.
Anyway, an astounding video!

"Astronomy ?? Picture ?? of the Day"
Well, I suppose as we're all descended from the same origin, and live on the same planet, we are loosely related to Astronomy, and a video is just a lot of still Pictures following each other... I'll let you off this time![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Re: APOD: Jupiter and the Moons of Earth (2012 Apr 27)
I was wondering about "the others":
"Earth's largest natural satellite"
Have NASA visited the others? or was the landing on the "largest" enough to satisfy everyone's curiosity?

Amazing! "Titan is about 2.3 million kilometers from Cassini". Its hard to imagine a million kilometers. OK a million pounds, or dollars, is easy to imagine (!), but not kilometers... Have to congratulate all at NASA and especially the APODians... Many thanks for sharing these images.

Come to think of it, if this is the last roll out, they won't need them any more... e-bay here we come! ![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
