Ok, I agree this is appropriate for today's date, but can't you think of something new to say?

Referring to another thread, "does APOD recycling topics and pictures???", not only do they recycle pictures and topics, but also text. I'm not criticizing APOD. With 365 days a year to fill, there's not enough time to create something new every day. Keep up the good work.

I remember another rose on APOD, but I can't find the link. It looked like a blue, long stemmed rose floating in space. Does anyone else remember this

Were you looking for this one? http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060324.html

Thanks, but no. I pretty sure it wasn't the Rosette Nebula at all.

I think it was a reflection nebula and an associated dark dust cloud that looked like a long stemmed rose from the side. The blue rosebud (reflection nebula?) was to the right with the stem (dust cloud?) extending to the left.

Still can't find it, but I have found a couple of other roses thanks to the Spitzer Space Telescope.

hi bystander,
i'm always amazed at the wealth of the variety & beauty that we see from the daily APOD's

i think that the 2nd 'rose' you have linked to is absolutely excellent
thanks

Hi bystander.

Could one of the following be the one you are after? Even if not (which I suspect is likely to be the case) they are still very pretty flower-like images.

No, niether is the one I am looking for. I agree, however, that they are very nice. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, your boys from Live at Leeds, Pete and Roger, are supposed to be here, Live in Oklahoma, next month.

I do so love the sparkle Mr. Gendler puts in his images. Utter beauty.

Hi Harry,
wow ..thanks for your post ..what a great display of wonders

may the winner chose their reward ..i flight to the stars maybe?

Talking about how stunning and/or pretty APOD images can be I wonder if the Forum Members have ever tried inverting the colours of images. The results can be even more amazing. In order to do it the images seem to need to be copied and then pasted. Then simply highlighting the image as if you were going to copy it will invert the colours (at least it does on a basic MS Works that I have!). I thought I would mention this just in case anybody has never tried it.

Cheers all

Dave
