Re: APOD: NGC 6872: A Stretched Spiral Galaxy (2016 Apr 26)

Interesting to me that those bright blue stars do not last that long. At the distance of 300 million light years, all those stars have died - even before their light reaches us.

Life is short! Make good use of your 100 million years! Call your mom!

Re: APOD Assessment Poll #6b

Yes, most of us have seen it before. But your text and links in the caption are always welcome! They serve as great reminders of the astronomical understanding, and, unlike the *rest of the entire internet* - they are trustworthy! Keep up the good work! :D
