Venus rising

Post by Cody »

A beautiful photo of Venus rising... it's 5060x3359 at full size.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Pretty at a distance - looks very contrived when you zoom in...

I have that as a built in wallpaper with windows7! All except the planet is the same. Saying that they might have went to the same place and re-shot the photograph.

Yes, cheap edit m'thinks. Bit below par for APOD really. I have that on my Win7 PC also.

Cheers,

Perhaps one could notify them that they've fallen for a hoax. Who knows, perhaps they received the picture on April 1st? :wink:
