Re: APOD assessment poll #5
I "voted" other as I didn't understand the question or options. We use IE8 to view APOD. The link has been in our favorites for many years - since we got internet access up here (at least 3 computers ago!) When I share the daily APOD, I go to to the archives to get the url for that day to ...

Re: Power Outage affecting July 1 APOD
We have frequent power outages up here in the mountains when it storms. (We have a back up generator.) Sympathy for all those affected by this major outage in the east, our friends said it was a wild storm.
Thanks for the mirror link for today's APOD.

Re: APOD assessment poll #4
I can't say that APOD has increased my interest in NASA because I've always been very interested in NASA. But APOD is an absolute delight, and it's often my launch pad into other discoveries on NASA's web site. Thank you! Ditto for us. We are both interested in NASA and astronomy in general. APOD h...

Re: APOD: Venus Transits the Midnight Sun (2012 Jun 20)
Lovely APOD today!
We are at 44.9650 N latitude and 4800' (1463M) elevation. Our seasons pretty much correspond to the Solstices and Equinoxes - due to the elevation. (It got below freezing last night.) Looking forward to summer so we can stop burning wood at night to keep warm!

Re: APOD assessment poll #3
We were both interested in astronomy and science in general before we got the internet. Found APOD in 2004 when we first got the internet up here in the "boonies" and one of the first links we ever saved in the "favorites". I would not say it makes us more interested in science, ...

Re: APOD: Conjunction Haiku (2012 Apr 07)
It has been cloudy where we live in central Idaho so we missed the early April conjunction. This photo of conjunction was back on March 24. Venus, Jupiter, Pleiades and the new moon. http://local-color.smugmug.com/AIR/The-Night-Sky/i-7ph5fmf/0/XL/IMG4358March-Evening-XL.jpg Larger image: http://tiny...
