http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html If you do not read this message until tomorrow (12/04), there is a way to go back a day by clicking "<" to the left of the word "Archive" on the page. Incidentally, I use this URL as the start-up page for my browser. It always has something interesting and it changes every day. Regards, Bob Terwilliger
