Indeed, Mark, some things are just meant to be. NASAs APOD - featuring a different image each day of our fascinating universe with a description written by a professional astronomer. I guess some things were just meant to be!" If that isn’t odd enough, it is only because I failed to heed the flight attendants instructions, “in preparation for landing, please turn off all electrical devices” that my phone was even on in the first place. When I finally got on a flight home, I tried to get an aisle seat, as is my preference. It was during the freak “Snowpocalypse” that covered the city in a blanket of ice, shutting down the airport for two days. The funny part is that I was never supposed to be on that flight. If you enlarge the image you can also see, right in the center, another plane making its approach to a parallel runway. People were so perplexed as how this image was even possible, a college science professor created a graphic diagramming the physics of the shot (SEE BELOW). Aside from a little sharpening, the picture is straight out of the camera. It has spurred countless debates on whether it’s a real photograph (it is), and whether it’s photoshopped (it isn’t). Arctic Sea Ice Extent 13.

It trended on Google, Yahoo, Reddit and God knows where else. NASA scientists are studying the latest satellite imagery of the storm and analyzing the forces that made the storm so catastrophic. Within days it appeared in newspapers in dozens of countries all over the world. News outlets and social media sites picked up on it. Somehow, someone from USA Today saw it and the next day it was featured in the paper’s weather page, both in print and online. Boom! I thought it was a pretty cool photo so I put it on my Facebook page. I grabbed my iPhone, pressed it against the window and snapped off a single picture. I knew this scene would be gone in seconds. As we descended beneath the clouds and swung out over Lake Michigan to make our final approach into O’Hare International Airport, I saw this amazing sight: through an opening in clouds, the sun’s rays were shining down on the city, projecting the shadow of the skyline onto the lake. The sun was setting and the city was shrouded in a heavy cloud cover. "A few years ago I was returning to Chicago from a business trip. I mean, really! The city appears upside down in the clouds!!! This is what he told me. The beautiful colors and shocking imagery literally stunned me on this gorgeous summer day so I reached out to ask Mark more about how the photo happened.
Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured with explanations from Nasa professionals about what is going on in them. A local Chicago photographer, Mark Hersch, (who happens to be one of the nicest people you will ever meet) just had his photo "Inverted City Beneath Clouds" chosen by Nasa as the Astronomy Picture of the Day.

For the Moon, it would be 50 minutes later each day that it would return to the same place in the sky.My podcasts are available in video form through this YouTube Channel ().This Podcast is an authorized New Media Mirror Site for APOD. So, this would be at the same time of day for our Sun. An analemma occurs when you take an image of an object when it gets back to the same point in the sky each day. In today's image, we see a double lunar analemma.
