the APOD used to be posted every day here, but the FReeper who did it got ill (I think) and had to stop. No one ever picked it up.

If you want to post it daily I think you will find a lot who would be interested. If you do, please add me to your ping list for it.

Hey look at this one. Is this a real picutre or just an artist;s idea of what it would look like? What is the blue stuff in the background?

I don't know how many of you out there are into astronomy.

I used to own a 17.5" Coulter Odyssey II dob. I miss that thing.

Too Cool! While surfing through other photos in the archive, I happened to stumble across another source for the term "moonbat":

From The Barren Moon

...life on the Moon was reported in August of 1835 in a series of sensational stories first published by the New York Sun - apparently intended to improve the paper's circulation. These descriptions of lunar life received broad credence and became one of the most spectacular hoaxes in history. Supposedly based on telescopic observations, the stories featured full, lavish accounts of a Moon with oceans and beaches, teeming with plant and animal life and climaxing with the report of sightings of groups of winged, furry, human-like creatures resembling bats!
