Starship Asterisk*

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.

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..

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!

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

The Taiwan mirror is up: http://www.phys.ncku.edu.tw/~astrolab/m ... /apod.html

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;-)

YAY! APOD is back in Austin, Texas and all is right in the world!

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

The web server was down.

I don't kow why; but I thought this thread might get stickied!

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!
