I was just about to shut down when I was pinged to your post. In my haste to come in and be one of the first to congratulate Petuniasevan on being the FRiday FReeper in the spotlight, I must confess, I have only skimmed over this excellent and "out of this world" tribute you have done for her. I promise to come back in the morning when I am not so sleepy and read this tribute and properly applaud Petuniasevan's contributions to FreepRepublic. :-)

Good night daisy, good night all.

Thank you very much, Daisy, Billie, dansangel, and MamaBear.

It's an honor to be featured at A Few of FR's Finest.

To all: by all means ask questions, and be sure to visit the APOD. The APOD links listed in the above profile are a nice sample. Don't worry if you're a "newbie" at astronomy, no question is too "dumb" to ask.

As well as my amateur self, there are several other amateurs and professional astronomers who post on the APOD, such as RightWhale, RadioAstronomer, Graewoulf, sleavelessinseattle...

We try to learn and have a bit of fun at the same time, so don't be surprised to see some puns and joking going on at times.

Again, thanks to those who honor me with tonight's Finest thread. And thanks to all who support Freerepublic.

Good morning Daisy.

Good morning Dolls, have a great day.

What a nice surprise to wake up to! I have been on the APOD ping list for quite some time and enjoy the wonderful photos and information that petuniasevan provides! As a teenager, I had a telescope and hung on to it in storage up until 4 years ago when my storage bin was broken into and it was stolen. :-(

I LOVE smileys! I have a very paltry collection compared to you, petuniasevan. I started looking through yours and decided that would be a treat for later when I get home....otherwise I'll get into all kinds of trouble here at work!! LOL!

Meanwhile:

Have a wonderful day (it's FRIDAY!!! YAY!!!) Daisy, thank-you for such a great Friday thread! Petuniasevan, thank-YOU for APOD!

What a wonderful presentation, daisy, of a fascinating person and topic!

My favorite science displays were those of the Aurora Borealis when I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for 3 1/2 years.

Here are a few samples:

Happy Friday, Ladies.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. It has been another great week at FR and as much as I dislike Monday's I always look forward to returning to the daily threads.

The sniper has been caught so hopefully those in the DC area can enjoy a weekend free from fear. Stay alert nonetheless. There will always be someone trying to scare our freedom out of us.

Good evening everyone! Nice to finally be here tonight, after a long day of working with Spec Ed kids. PetuniaSevan, I have visited APOD many times and enjoy it very much, as well as the comments there by SleavelessinSeattle. :) I hope you have enjoyed your day and thank you for your wonderful APOD thread.
Congratulations!
