Re: APOD: Comet 67P from Spacecraft Rosetta (2016 Feb 02)
As a 44 years old lay person, generally interested in space observation and exploration, the Rosetta mission surpasses all the others I have been privileged to witness is my lifetime. The complex and weirdly familiar comet landscape has been a thorough revelation. With O2 having been measured as a s...

I hadn't noticed the diffraction phenomenon at first look at all.
That makes the beautiful image a lot more interesting!

Re: APOD: Pluto: From Mountains to Plains (2015 Dec 14)
This is one of the most amazing pictures ever taken in the history of space exploration.
The lesson is that at different temperatures different materials can give rise to a geology comparable to that on Earth.
I wonder if there is the possibility of an alternative biology.

I hadn't thought about it. Today's picture (The Sun in X-rays from NuSTAR ) is a great wallpaper.

I like APOD (versus other more wallpaper oriented picture sources) because its pictures are up to date with the latest achievements in astronomy. It's informative before being spectacular. Today's picture (Comet Lovejoy) is 1376x1376 and should be perfect for my laptop display 1366x768, but has a so...

I'm currently using APOD as wallpaper on all my devices, phone, laptop, desktop at work.
