Least favorite APOD

Post by lbeckham » Sun Jun 14, 2015 2:37 pm

I start my day, everyday, with APOD. For the second day in a row, http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html times out, no connection. http://www.nasa.gov/ is alive and well. Any news?

http://apod.nasa.gov/ is experiencing difficulties. We don't know why, yet.
Know the quiet place within your heart and touch the rainbow of possibility; be
alive to the gentle breeze of communication, and please stop being such a jerk.

Same problem here second day now. No chance to connect with APOD (I´m from/in Germany). Tried different preferences and configurations of FF and even hated IE.. :no:

But maybe you like this link: https://www.facebook.com/AstronomyPictureOfTheDay where the newest picture can be seen.

There are also some mirrors which translate the original APOD and because of that they are 1 day "late":

The Italian mirror would be nice for you ´cause they are "on" and in English! 8-)

Thank you, Astrotante. Hopefully the main site will be back soon with a new picture from Philae

Hi, Ibeckham!

The Original is back again - at least here in Munich..
Hope you see it again, too!

Have a nice day and starry nights;-)

Why was APOD off-line over the weekend, speaking of 20 years of " a source of web consistency"?

APOD is my homepage. I was worried when I couldn't connect.

What was up?

Thank you-- Rick

I don't really have a least favorite! I was trying to think of one; but I didn't want to commit to any particular one! 8-)
