APOD 4.4


Cygnus Without Stars

I don't really understand the name of this as there are stars in this picture. It's really cool to be able to see the outline of hydrogen in the constellation, though. Even if there is a false advertisement for it to be Cygnus without stars. Oh well. It's still pretty.

APOD 4.3


IC 2948: The Running Chicken Nebula

So I totally do not get the name of this nebula. I guess it's just a random name and probably someone trying to bring some humor into the whole situation. I cannot see the freaking running chicken. How does someone come up with this name? I asked Hop if she saw the running chicken, she said yes. I think she's lying to me. That's okay though, I don't think it's just me that can't see it. It's not fair.

APOD 4.2


Stickney Crater

This picture looks just like a giant jellyfish. (Well, the idea really came from Hop, but I agree so I am the one writing it) I like jellyfish. Well, unless they sting me. Hop doesn't like them. She doesn't like them because they sting and they are creepy. Hannah doesn't like jellyfish either because they sting and they almost killed Dori. That actually is a good reason not to like jellyfish now that I think about it. I love Dori. She was my favorite.
