4.7 APOD

Circles in the Sky

At first, I thought that this was a rainbow, but without the colors... But, in fact, it's an ice halo in the sky. It reminds me of the time in elementary school where there was some water event going on. Then, when they were splashing water at us, I looked up and saw a great colorful ring which I think it's a rainbow. That was really awesome.

4.6 APOD

An Antarctic Total Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse??? No way... that looks like the guy is being sucked into a black hole. Even the picture is all blurry and distorted. I really want to see that now, light bursting out thru the edge of the pitch dark moon. I can't imagine how bright it'll be when more light passes through.

APOD 4.5

Shaping NGC 6188

None of the constellation pictures are pretty this week. This is the best of the batch! Apparently Trish thinks that it looks like a butterfly, but I think it resembles a phantom of some sort. Either way I think it looks really weird. The middle glowing portion makes it seem like it's full of like and ready to just burst out completely.
