I know many of you are aware of APOD, but for those that aren't: APOD = Astronomy Picture of the Day. Great site.

Those guys at Nasa have way too much time on their hands! They must be visitng the bars at lunchtime. The Mars Bars, that is.

Is that glass half full or half empty? Or is that an invisible Martian frog in it? I can make out the eyes, I think.

Naw, cheerful appreciation of a really REALLY BAD pun.

Hard to express on the computer...

My favorite part was the line about "the possible existence of past life and the sustenance of potential future astronauts."

Great pic. I love it. And it's definitely in line with the date.

I wonder how long "Mars" lasted after they got the picture? I wonder if tomorrow's APOD will have the headline "Mars Disappears! Possibly Eaten!"

I LOVE APOD! My son has a three image desktop on his computer screen of that star that keeps exploding and collapsing. Apparently the thing is so big that the explosion of the star is unable to escape the gravity field, so it collapses and explodes all over again...and again...and again...

Well, it is April Fool's Day. And the picture is rather amusing. Okay, I laughed. I was rolling my eyes as I did it, but I laughed.

Maybe I'll print that out and tape it to my door... with all the space I don't have up there for a picture of water on Mars...
