APOD 1.5

Saguaro Moon

I love this APOD. The moon looks like it is so close and is just a brilliant color with the background of it either rising or setting. The addition to it being near cacti gives it a pretty cool effect. It was almost that pretty here on Wednesday while I was on my way to school. Driving on I-75 I could see the moon and it looked so close and so big! I would have loved to stay up all night just to see this moon rise and to see the effects of the full moon.

APOD #1.4

Tungurahua Erupts

As usual, I picked this astronomy picture of the day because it's pretty. The only volcanoes I have ever seen are in Hawaii and there was not lava and hot magma flowing out of them while I was there. It would be cool to see though, long as I was like in a helicopter or something away from the hot stuff which could kill me.

Six Rainbows Across Norway

This is another beautiful image as have been the last two APOD posts of mine. Since it is such a rarity to see so many rainbows at one time, it would be amazing to witness one of these in real life rather than just through pictures. The first rainbow is rather easy to explain, but as more and more rainbows start appearing, it becomes harder for scientists to explain them.

APOD #1.2

The Colorful Clouds of Rho Ophiuchi

The clouds of Ophiuchi are so pretty. The colors would be amazing to be seen by the naked eye, but because of the high wavelengths, it is can be difficult to see the bright colors.
