Picture of the Day - Mar. 15th - No picture

Sometimes when I click on the new picture of the day, my computer indicates that the photo has been downloaded, but there is no picture. And, nothing I do brings up a photo Happened today with "Macool Hill" Any thoughts as to why this occasionaly happens. :(

Lucky,

If I right click on today's APOD picture and choose "Save image as...", a 600 x 2195 pixel image is downloaded and saved. If I left click, a much-higher-res image downloads and displays, but it is not automatically saved).

What exactly happens (or doesn't happen) if you right or left click?

Part of the caption reads

"Also visible above, unusual layered rocks lie to your right, while other scattered rocks appear either smooth or sponge-like."

Good to see that APOD people have a sence of humor. The link for the "Smooth" surface is another greatly discussed image while the "Sponge" link takes you to "Sponge bob"
