Thanks a lot for this version, at its' slower speed it's a lot easier to digest for someone like me, a not-so-initiated amateur.

Today's APOD is of unwordly beauty, a magical view...

Thanks Geckzilla, the big version came in perfect for my Spanish version of the APOD.

Many happy returns, APOD,

Thank you all for a brillant project.

Thanks to everyone who cares and supports APOD and I hope you like my special design to APOD birthday image.

It's a great picture, Wang, a very nice birthday present!

Great videos:

Their author, John Moore, has made many more videos like these using images from LROC.

Today's image is beautiful and very special, that's a huge tail.

I find that this picture reveals the anti tail better:

Thanks for the corrections.

I also added the date in my Spanish translation, without a date it actually might seem to be a kind of breaking news story, and of course, in cosmological terms it is.

The Roque Cinchado has other names in Spanish, it's also called "Árbol de Piedra" or "Dedo de Dios". The former means "Stone Tree" and the lather means "God's Finger". Btw. Before we were forced into worshipping the Euro as our monetary unit this natural monum...

Very impressive picture, I'm sure this one, printed at the same size as the monster-pic you show here , would be at least as impressive. Would be really beautiful without the huge, ugly logo. :p Ugly logo? It's a nice logo which fits in nicely without disturbing me. I'm sure the author has more than...

A great and confusing picture, at first it seems like one is looking at Jupiter. Fortunately (for the moment) we are not suffering storms of this magnitude on planet Earth. For those interested, I translated two corresponding videos into Spanish . Particularly the second one gives a better idea of w...

Impressive image, I had never heard about the Palomar clusters before, glad to have learned something new again.

Here's a Spanish translation I made.

Hello,

Despite it's name I found this intriguing image worth the effort and did a Spanish translation.

Greetings.

Great pictures,

I did a Spanish translation of this article.

Greetings.
