Tomorrow's APOD
Tomorrow's APOD
I often try to guess tomorrow's picture based on the clue given, and think it would be fun to share the rationale behind our guess!
Re: Tomorrow's APOD
After I spend much time to hack the cryptic description about tomorrow's APOD, I think I succeed and we will see tomorrow:

Re: Tomorrow's APOD
I get scared when I see the Open Space ones. That means there isn't one yet. What if it doesn't get done by midnight? A scary thought.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.
Re: Tomorrow's APOD
Clue for tomorrows APOD: pixels in space.
Reminds me of Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot".
"A mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam" Earth imaged by Voyager 1 through Saturn's rings.

(C) AP
Yup, I'm sure the Associated Press owns the copyright to that image.
I think pixels in space is another one similar to open space. Too vague to make any determination.
...and, looking again, it's been updated to the exact name of the object in the next APOD. Talk about spoilers.

Not the original image, of course, but clearly the AP has exaggerated the Earth color.geckzilla wrote:

Now wait just a comet picking minute... today's APOD: 4-planet sunset, lists tomorrow's APOD as Sharpless 115. So just where the heck did the idea of pixels in space come from for tomorrow's APOD
Once again I'm

Re: Tomorrow's APOD
Hmm... perhaps for tomorrow's APOD, a ? mark or the word surprise should be used. Then everyone would find out what it is when they see it. If someone didn't care for doing it that way, they could always request and receive a refund.Chris Peterson wrote:That which was near changed while you were staring into the distance...Beyond wrote:Now wait just a comet picking minute... today's APOD: 4-planet sunset, lists tomorrow's APOD as Sharpless 115.

It is a fair example of a stare at Beyonder land though, except that if the starer was actually seeing Beyonder land, the mouth would be open a lot wider in amazement

Re: Tomorrow's APOD
ha-ha-ha, um... no. He doesn't have that elevated stare of amazement. He has a look of shock that comes from all of a sudden finding himself beamed over to the Starship Asterisk*, away from the crooks that he was beating up on. Maybe you'd better not tell him you did it. He may still have stuff left over from one of the movies.

Re: Tomorrow's APOD
Tomorrow's APOD (6/21/13) is listed as 'Solstice Scene'. I'm going to go way out on a limb and guess the sun will be in it. ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

- Why would you say that? The instance of the June solstice occurs when most of the Western hemisphere is in the dark.

Re: Tomorrow's APOD
As long as no cat-burning takes place, I'm fine with whatever... some Swedes dancing embarrassingly around a maypole would be amusing.

A May pole in June?

Isn't the sun always in a solstice, whether or not you actually get to see it
