Astronomy Picture of the Day

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html

Rather than copy an individual image to this discussion thread, the above link will feature a different picture every day.

Image of the Day is a good place to feature this page of the official NASA site. It's amazing what we can see from the Cellar ... with the power of the Internet and the budget of NASA.

Our discussion thread will not always refer to the same picture.

The images are always out of this world.

way to kill possible future content

...just kidding.
But Tony has featured a few pix from there in the past, as well as the Earth Sci pic of the day. One of my favorite IotD's <b>(aside from this one)</b> is Nat'l Geographic. Today they have a photo from Hawaii that is just spectacular. Check it out. I also frequent photo.net, though they feature just a pic of the week and a random one every time you hit reload. There's some wonderful talent there.

The way I see it ... the Cellar is about community, not content.

The images here aren't unique content ... the discussion is.

Discuss.

I'll still post images to IotD from there, no matter how often it's referenced. A lot of people will just browse here, not checking out other regular image haunts. (I check them all. I have a lotta free time.)

Perfect. It would be great if anyone continues to use this link as a source, and wants to post any particular image for discussion.

The images on this link are there only for the day, unless you search their archives.

If any particular photo prompts discussion ... let's get at it.

Post and discuss.

Talk about high-res ... one of these images is a TIFF file of 71.9MB.

World's Most Complex Radio Telescope Snaps Stunning 1st Photo of the Cosmos
Fox News Published October 03, 2011 | Space.com

Quote:

After years of planning, construction and assembly, a gigantic observatory
billed as the world's most complex array of ground-based telescopes
has opened its eyes in South America and captured its first image.
<snip>
ALMA is a complex of 40-foot (12-meter) radio telescopes sitting at an elevation of 16,500 feet (5,000 m)
on the Chajnantor plateau in northern Chile.
<snip>
Currently, the array harbors 19 individual telescopes, though 66 should come online by 2013,
researchers said. The array will ultimately be about 11 miles (18 km) wide.

My first question: Can anyone live/work at this altitude without oxygen ?
