1.7 apood blog

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/

I love today's apod blog because there is actually a person in it! It's entitled "Calm, Crescent Moon, and Venus". The title describes the photo perfectly. The serene nighttime setting evokes a calming and peaceful feeling. The photo was taken by a lake called Vallentuna in Sweden. The crescent is beautiful because you can see the rest of the moon beside it as it shines brightly.

4.5 Apod Blog

I chose today's constellation photo called The Antenna because it mentions a constellation which we were quizzed on today, Corvus. However, the photo itself is of two galaxies within the constellation that collided. Resulting from the dust and gas clouds are two groups of star clusters. Although the title of the photo infers that the clusters look like an antenna, I actually think it looks more like a heart. Pretty!
