Starship Asterisk*

Hi, alll New here - again. I found you a few years ago and enjoy APOD daily widget on my mac for years. My Astronomy backgrond is below and I invite you to enjoy it.

The "cylindrical projection global map" - can we have a link to its definition? I was on a work break, and did not "get it" till this morning: " oh, yes of course.....a "cylindrical projection global map" ! Eureka ! "

My interest in Astronomy was generated before I was born. My Dad was Army Air Corps - "Smitty the Flight Mechanic" - guys in the skies! It sounds like a children's book and might be. After the war, his wife and all three children loved science and technology and would read and study and kn...

Casper the Friendly Ghost of cartoon fame ! But I like Flying Squirrel very much too!

today's APOD has one typo - thought you'd want to know....says "das and dust" instead of "gas and dust" in galaxy collision video explanation. I LOVE APOD AND SELDOM MISS. I DO NASA AND ASTRAL ART...some is posted the newer better ones , not yet. Long delay.

Super imaging !

Yes and yes ! APOD is the best thing since sliced bread and part of my toast and coffee each morning, it is one of my MAC Dashboard Widgets and so it appears first thing so I rarely miss it. Thanksomuch !

The data and the chat are a big help in keeping me alive in Astronomy. It is wonderful to think that mysel...

It looks EXACTLY like the EYE in Lord of the Rings ....and now all of us are "Ones who have seen the Eye."....rename it? Thanks APOD!

Hi...please make it easier to pass on APOD to FB and Twitter et al. Most sites have a link that makes it a one-click thing to spread the APOD to FB.
Please? We were good.

oops! sorry Willdo Happy Holiday!

"But while most are just beginning their work at sunset, this observatory's day was done. " should read "But while most are just beginning their work at sunRISE, this observatory's day was done.

Please please add the SHARE tabs so that people can post APOD at Facebook Twitter etc easily and send to friends! These are so wonderful!

I LOVE APOD I AM LEARNING SO MUCH AND I WILL SOON BE COMPLETING A SERIES OF PAINTINGS DEPICTING SOME OF MY FAVORITES IN THE WET ON WET WATERCOLOR THAT EXPRESSES THE APOD IMAGES SO WELL ! I SHARE NOTES AND INTEREST AT A PHOTOGRAPHY SITE AT FACEBOOK AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO ADD THE APOD TO MY POSTINGS...
