It’s long been a goal of mine to grace the pages of the NASA website “Astronomy Photo of the Day”. Last week – I achieved that goal and was granted the page for the 20th of July.

The day was a great one. My stepfather celebrated a milestone birthday in style, it was the 42nd anniversary of the Apollo moon landing, and… I made APOD.

If you have a moment, please visit APOD and take a look at the image. Noctilucent Clouds have become a great interest to me as they are a part of what living in northern latitudes is all about. Being nearly 2/3rd’s of the way to the Pole from the equator does have a few benefits when you count Auroras and Long summer nights.
