Chonsi..did you see the one I posted earlier today...it is from the astronomy pic of day site.

No, I didn't see the earlier one. I will go back and look. Yesterday's was the surface of Mars? Or that might have been Thursday. We look at it everyday.

The one day the image was the drawing, my students could describe all the planetary characteristics of it, before reading the caption. The do quite well half-way through the year.

Oh, now I know. Apollo 17 and the solar eclipse.

Quoted from the site :

divided into three parts by dark, obscuring dust lanes

Hell, I can show you that in my house. C'mon over. I could probably even muster up some "luminous gas", although you may want to think twice about that part.
