> "You didn't "reprocess" anything."
Yes, OK. My bad again. I have now removed the prefix "re" from the main NASA text, so that "reprocessing" has become "processing".

Re: APOD: The Outburst Clouds of Star AG Car (2021 May 26)
At the request of the News Chief of the Space Science Scientific Institute (STScI), I have added the words "reprocessed by Judy Schmidt" to the main NASA text for this APOD. I also want to point out the an STScI team headed by Joseph DePasquale themselves did a very impressive job of proce...

Re: APOD: Centaurus A's Warped Magnetic Fields (2021 Apr 21)

Re: APOD: Curiosity: Sol 3048 (2021 Mar 25)
Is that the right date for the touchdown, April 5, 2012? I was teaching an astronomy class that summer, and recall nervously waiting for news of the landing to come in while I was teaching that class. Wikipedia says August 6, 2012 was its landing date, so maybe someone confused A-months? Correct! I...

APOD Assessment Poll #6c
Today's (Sunday, 2020 December 6) APOD image has appeared on APOD before and was indeed quite widely circulated in the 1990s. We are curious, however, how many newer viewers of APOD are unfamiliar with some of astronomy's classic older images. APOD reruns images on Sundays partly to bring back to li...

Dumb question: can the earth ever cast a shadow on mars? Or, does the earth ever eclipse the sun on mars? Or does the earth ever transit the sun on mars? I guess it would be a lot to ask for the geometry to line up well enough to allow that. Not a dumb question! Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org...
