Managed to get today’s EPOD with an image of Arcturus – the brightest star in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere. Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work.
Got today’s EPOD (number 97 for me) with an image of Romanesco Broccoli showing its Fractal structure. Thank you Jim at EPOD for continuing to publish my work. http://epod.usra.edu/
