Re: APOD: M13: The Great Globular Cluster in... (2022 Aug 04)

I wonder how the sky would look like from an hypothetical planet orbiting one of the star near the center, where, as the caption says, there are some a 100 stars in 3 light years.

Re: APOD: 4000 Exoplanets (2022 Aug 14)

Yet another old APOD without updating the info. This milestone was reached in 2019, not last month.
I would like the editors to consider updating their information, it can mislead less experienced readers.
And sorry that if my English is not perfect.

Hello!
Isn't the information on this picture a little bit outdated? I think MESSENGER's mission ended in 2015 and is not currently in orbit around Mercury, and the first complete map of the surface was released a couple of years ago.
Right?
