What is it? Space mystery object?
Any of you guys remember this post?
it was awesome! I didnt realise the furore that my attempt caused in What is it? Space mystery object #39. haha. I posted a small version of the APOD from the 22/11/2008 (or 11/22/2008 if your American) the picture in question is a panorama found here:
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap081122.html
It sure was a toughie because I had to solve the mystery from my own clue haha, because i last posted it from a different computer from a different job. Anyways I found it, and contrary to some peoples postings, it wasnt a click through and was most definately an APOD from the archive.
I would very much like this post to come back and I am going to make one in the educational forum with the first clue. Good luck and enjoy because it was my favourite game on here to date.

I have no idea whether this one will prove difficult or not:

Especially while the NASA site is down.
Hint: it's looking down on the former CCCP.

Ah, that's what that little white thing just off the center is (via bystanders second link. The APOD link won't display).

Re: What is it? Space mystery object?
Well done bystander ... tag you're it. I really didn't think it would be that hard, but wasn't sure. I grew up with a mother who liked doing 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles of things like a clear blue sky, and perhaps this rubbed off on me.
Owlice, re the spoiler, fairy nuff, I concede.

Re: What is it? Space mystery object?
Huh. To me, it looks like the Triffid nebula overlaid with the Pleiades. So i have no idea what it is.

Why would you reference the apod.nasa.gov site at this point in time? Find a site that works.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

Re: What is it? Space mystery object?
