APOD today 30 Sept2008
Hi All,

Anyone notice APOD today?

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html

Nice one Mike -- congrats on a lovely image.

One for the Malin Awards next year given the theme?


Best,

Les D

Cute writeup!

Your daughter will be handing out cards with the URL to all her friends at school!

Well done, Mike!

Wow, that was a complete surprise!

In the past, they'd emailed me before using an image (to get more details or a higher res image etc), but this time they didn't.

I can't wait to show Eliza when I get home!

LOL good idea, unfortunately it's school holidays for 2 weeks. Her 15 minutes of fame will be up by the time they go back

Thanks for your comments guys! The sunset put on a nice show that evening.

Congrats Mike on APOD, you sure have captured the "how's the serenity" in your shot.
One of many more to come I'm sure.

Well done Mike.

A mate of mine in the US actually sent me the link as he normally does when it's something to do with Australia or southern skies. What a nice surprise it was when I saw you credited with the image.

Cheers,
Greg

Excellent!

I saved this one, but I had no idea it was yours Mike.

I not only have APOD as my homepage, but also EPOD on a seperate tab. It's a great combination for every time I open my browser.
