These podcasts are my discussion of NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day - published daily at apod.nasa.gov/apod. The content is created for my introductory astronomy classes as the image is the first thing shown in class each day in a traditional class and one image each week is discussed in my virtual classes.
2024 September 16 - Mercury's Vivaldi Crater from BepiColumbo
In today's image, we see an image of the Vivaldi crater on Mercury which was recently imaged by the BepiColumbo spacecraft. The craft recently flew by Mercury and is scheduled to begin orbiting Mercury in 2026.

Can you comment on the true color of Phobos and Deimos? I'm guessing this image is quite over-saturated. There's a super recent image of Phobos with Mars in the background (search "Phobos over Mars - ESA Mars Express") that makes me think these moons would appear quite grey to the human eye.
Fantasy is endless but the Reality is what it is, Greetings stationary flat plane.
If I go to that location by night, does that really mean that I can see, with my own bare eyes, stars this good? Thank you.
No, you would not be able to see anything like this with just your eyes. A camera can be left open for a much longer period of time and will pick up far more detail than the eye could ever see. Your eye only collects light for a fraction of a second at a time. A camera can use longer exposures (and multiple exposures) to collect light for minutes or even hours, reveling things invisible to the naked eye.
That looks like a Moody Blues album cover
Explanation: Ringed ice giant Neptune lies near the center of this sharp near-infrared image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The dim and distant world is the farthest planet from the Sun, about 30 times farther away than planet Earth. But in the stunning Webb view, the planet's dark and ghostly appearance is due to atmospheric methane that absorbs infrared light. High altitude clouds that reach above most of Neptune's absorbing methane easily stand out in the image though. Coated with frozen nitrogen, *Neptune's largest moon Triton* is brighter than Neptune in reflected sunlight, seen at the upper left sporting the Webb telescope's characteristic diffraction spikes. Including *_Triton,_* seven of Neptune's 14 known moons can be identified in the field of view. Neptune's faint rings are striking in this space-based planetary portrait. Details of the complex ring system are seen here for the first time since Neptune was visited by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in August 1989.
I finished your class years ago but still really enjoy watching these videos - space is fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
Gravity falls fans unite
Looks as though some advanced beings have used this area as a bombing range😄
I had been wondering why the moon really wobbles around. Now I know. Thanks for the very interesting explanation!
Looks like a scene from Star Wars but in the Milky Way now.

Skip. No video. Narration over still photos.
Thank you for the comment. Yes, that is my recording, similar to what I do in a classroom. I hope you are able to find something that works better for your needs.
Pro Viewer Tip: after watching this video, watch again from 0:29 at 0.25x speed (with audio muted bc it sounds goofy if you don't mute) and enjoy the details !

Thanks! By the was: we can see also the conjunction of the planets Jupiter an d Mars ;-)
The timing [Stonehenge] coincides with The Burckle Crater Mega Tsunami 5.2ka. most likely caused by The Taurid Meteor Stream, along with The Younger Dryas Impacts Theory / Fact 12.9ka. Stonehenge is the Ancient Calendar of the Ancient New Year when crossing the nighttime Taurids, same as what is clearly displayed at Gobekli Tepe. People would gather there for The Five Days of Doom, represented by the five central trilithons, added to the 360 day year, also known as the Days Without Name, Unlucky Days, and The Birthdays of the Gods, etc. It is all about The Sky Serpent (comet and superbolide) from The Pleiades, the radiant of said stream, which is symbolically shown in Avebury with the iconic daylight comet across (behind) The Sun. In The Old World they would sacrifice the Bull as in The Taurus Constellation, very similar to Thor, with his meteoric flying hammer, fishing for The World Encompassing Serpent with a Bull's head. It blows me away that others do not know what I am talking about, as if doctorates, especially Archaeologists - The Story of Mankind, have not read their homework at all. There are at least five corroborations that The Tas Tepeler Culture venerated this radiant, the best being The Seven Birds in a Row under Pillar 18 and the grave with two Auroch scapula placed over it, as Isis and Nefertari each hold a shoulder blade of The Apis Bull at The Pleiades. It was the same in isolated Mesoamerica, at the same moment, sacrificing humans to The Feathered Serpent, from the same star cluster, so it will not take away The Sun for long periods of time (impact winter) once again. Our children still carry on the exact same tradition, at the exact same time, going around asking strangers if it will be a bad or good outcome when crossing The Halloween Fireballs - The Taurids! [Also, half of the bones in Gobekli Tepe were Auroch, with only one skull, plus recently another grave was found with the head of a Bull placed over it.]
schitzophrenic
@@adamhayek7889 The Taurid Meteor Stream is deeply ingrained into universal comparative mythology, the Greeks say it is where The First Fire from Heaven came from and the throne of god, The Thunderbird and The Rainbow Serpent are from that star cluster, also the warrior brother of the Japanese Sun Goddess that killed her horse and she fled into a mountain, I can go on. I see your name is Adam, the cherub with comet swords kept you expelled and in The Talmud The Pleiades are instrumental in the Deluge.
I couldn't find anything about the 5 days of doom, the days without name etc What do these concepts suggest? If 360 days are accounted for in the Stonehenge, why would 5 be considered nameless? I think a lot more people than archeologists haven't done their homework, thanks for your contributions to the movement
@@christopherclassen6624 Well, it is worldwide, maybe your searching in the criminal expungement texts of the Archaeologists. "Among the Greeks and Romans the five intercalation days at the end of the 360 day year were called Stained or Polluted by Death, which is precisely the same name by which they were known among the Yucatan Indians. They were also known among the former as Unlucky Days. This name was clearly connected with the Dead, as it was applied to the Sceleratae Portae of Rome, through which funerals passed. Don Juan Pio Perez of Yucatan, speaking of the Yucatan calendar, says "Five Supplementary Days were Added at the End of each Year, which made part of no month, and which for that reason they called 'days without names.'" "They called them also Wayab, or Uayab Jaab. The word Uayab may be derived from Uay, which means to be Destroyed, Wounded, Corroded by the Caustic Juice of plants, or with Lye and other Strong Liquids." If this was the real meaning of the name, these days that were "Stained" by Death. Also, in India, the Festival evidently fell on the days called Dagda or Burned." - New Materials for the History of Man, by Robert Grant Haliburton, 1863 (Derived from a Comparison of the Calendars & Festivals of Nations). Try "five epagomenal days".
Great
To think there are places on earth where the sky is still this visible. Keck observatory is on my bucket list
Heavenly 😊
How does this video only have 20 VIEWS?? I love weather and I sat here and understood everything you were saying. I loved it.
Do lyrans understand what this means?
Ah, The Taboo Golden Gate of the Ecliptic, I discovered the Master Key, to which no one dares to open.
Explanation: A visitor to the inner solar system every 70 years or so Comet 13P/Olbers reached its most recent perihelion, or closest approach to the Sun, on June 30 2024. Now on a return voyage to the distant Oort cloud the Halley-type comet is recorded here sweeping through northern summer night skies over historic Kunetice Castle, Czech Republic. Along with a broad dust tail, and brighter coma, this comet's long ion tail buffeted by storms and winds from the Sun, is revealed in the composite of tracked exposures for comet and sky, and fixed exposures for foreground landscape recorded on July 28. The comet is about 16 light-minutes beyond the castle and seen against faint background stars below the northern constellation Ursa Major. The hilltop castle dates to the 15th century, while Heinrich Olbers discovered the comet in 1815. Captured here low in northwestern skies just after sunset Comet Olbers, for now, offers skywatchers on planet Earth rewarding telescopic and binocular views. Comet 13P/Olbers next perihelion passage will be in 2094.
Pondering how cool it would be to have a memory of seeing this comet as a ten or twelve year old kid and then seeing it again, now, as an 80 or 82 year old kid
Bigfoot is more believable then this science fiction crap they throw at us.
Thank you! I'm going to check out your OpenStax videos

I bet the highest point of that prominence from the surface of the sun would equal the distance from earth to moon
That is an amazing photo, it would be very interesting to see the other planets at the limb of The Moon in juxtaposition images.
The APOD Archive has images of Mars lunar occultations 👍
Searchable
Yes, occultations of Mars, Jupiter, and Venus can be found separately in the APOD archive: apod.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/apod/apod_search. I have not seen them do a combined image with multiple occultations.
I am thrilled to find this site! APOD was what kept me online back in the AOL days. It was the first instance of interest in computers besides playing DOOM and Planescape: Torment. My very favorite photo was the time-lapse of the energy waves out of the Crab Nebula's neutron star. Breathtaking. Thank you sincerely, all who made this site accessible.

Ahmein! Bo Yeshua! ❤
Just stop already.
I live in central Florida and last night was the clearest night I have seen in a while, the rain washed the sky pretty good, and I counted 56 stars. That's all I could see because of the light pollution from the half dozen cities around me. 35 years ago, I lived in Tampa and I could count 12 stars! 35 years ago! I doubt anybody under 20, in Tampa, has actually seen a star! It's kind of sad that all our social and technological progress and great wealth ha cost us the Stars. We can see the Universe from James Web and Hubble on our TVs and Computers, but not from our population centers. I wonder if this will ever change?
It’s from metal oxides and other crap in chemtrails ✈️💨💨💨 Stop with all the lies 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Thank you for taking the time to comment. However, I will note that this is not something new and, while not a common sight, these types of clouds have been known for hundreds of years, long before aircraft.
Awesome
Wrong my brother. I saw this while riding my bike with no binoculars, and I thought it was the end of the world. It was amazing!
why don't earth glow like the moon.
I find this all so fascinating. It is just what I was taught decades ago in astronomy class: how stars are born and how they blow off matter when they start to ignite. I didn't know APOD had a UA-cam site. Been reading the daily APOD for a number of years. Thank you for bringing astronomy to the masses!
I love these! Thank you for all you do!
