Wine and astronomy -- a clear connection in this case.

Normally I would post astronomy pictures that tickle my fancy down below in Friends and Fun, but NSA's current picture fits the wine theme, as well as showing a common but seldom noticed phenomena.

Bob,
Expect a scathing excoriation from Dubya now that you've leaked the ultra-hush-hush Interstellar Surveillance Program. I hope that you're prepared to defend yourself in court!

You know, Mark, for an unrepentant Liberal like me, I worried just a bit about being identified in any way with the erotic nature and the pinkish color of the Belt of Venus ... but now you've added a real element of terror!

I'll sleep much better tonight. Thanks.

Bob,
I sent this picture to a wine geek and astronomy geek friend of mine. He appreciated it very much. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Cheers!
James

Interesting...they used this same picture about three years ago. I downloaded it then to use as wallpaper on my PC.

Same text too David: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap031021.html

Wonder if that's a mistake or a change in policy of some sort. Hard to believe they can't find fantastic pictures to post.

Good catch!
