Morning Glory Clouds Over Australia (2009 Aug 24)

[neufer]

I personally enjoy these loosely interpreted "astronomy" pictures. And given the choice between last year's random NGC I'd pick bacteria or roll clouds hands down. Good thing APOD isn't a democracy because if this thread is any indication then I'm in the minority.

I agree...however, one should point out that
"D. rad Bacteria: Candidate Astronauts" has survived 3 APODs already:
