Using this link https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html Works with Fire Fox does not work with Chrome. In Chrome the page appears to load but get error message Page Unresponsive. I have not taken any action on the Chrome browser. I hope you can suggest something. Thanks for your time. Cliff

I AM NEW HERE. I AM UNABLE TO OPEN ANY OF THE LINKS ON THE APOD ARCHIVE PAGE. IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

THANKS,

Cliff

I am unable to open any of the links on the Archive page. I have sent several emails to the editors without response. Anyone else having the same problem or can suggest why I am having a problem. The Picture of the day opens fine.

I thought I responded to Chris but don't see it posted here. I wanted to thank him for being kind to an non astronomer and for taking the time to answer my questions. I appreciate his knowledge and his reply.

While I am at it a note of thanks for every one who took time to respond.

Thanks,
Cliff

Chris,

Thank you for your response. It was complete and did not talk down to a non astronomer. I appreciate your knowledge and time.

Merry Christmas

Not being an Astronomer I find it hard to believe "that enough of those comets (or ice-rich asteroids) crashed onto the Earth, at just the right time,to deliver all the water we have today." What was the temp of Earth during this period of a "huge numbers" of comets, and what wou...

When ever there is a discussion about the location of water, be that the earth, moon, or Mercury, it is usually said that the water came from comets. How did all that water come to be the main part of all the comets? Where was the water created in the first place?

Thank you for the definition of a day. Now can you tell me how fast they are moving to complete an orbit in 172,523.78 seconds.

I find it hard to believe that this binary system has a 2 day orbital period. What does that mean? Not to sound Clintonian but seems that depends on what the meaning of DAY is. As a novice I am confused.
