Under Nevada Skies

for everyone

I thought this was a pretty cool photo. Crystal clear. Take a guess where it is. If you guess off Earth, you must name the planet or moon. If you guess on Earth you must be specific. Nice little prize awaits. I'll give you a few days. Good luck.

moon on mars

mamabearcherei wrote on Apr 24

I'm guessing either Mars or Europa.. and it probably has to do with the frozen methane. Not enough time to look at pics and match them! lol

You're trying to trick us aren't you? I say it's a picture of your porridge cooking! HA!

although bubbling porridge is a good bet too ;)

Note: It is a real place and not oatmeal cooking.

OK you guys, time to do some research.

Geysers on Saturn's moon, Enceladus

undernevadaskies wrote on Apr 25

Bonnie, I applaud your research but Enceladus isn't it. One down, a few dozen to go.

Geysers on Jupiter

undernevadaskies wrote on Apr 25

I'm don't think they have detected geysers on Jupiter. Storms, yes.
2 down. A bunch to go.

Maybe it's barnicles on the whale that was spotted Thursday morning in San Francisco Bay.

undernevadaskies wrote on Apr 25

Bonnie, Buzzzz. Wrong. Now that answer was so far out there you should get a prize for creativity.
I hadn't heard about another whale being spotted. They don't do well in the bay as they often head up the delta.

Now tell us how you figured it out!!!

Goodies will arrive in the mail or maybe even in person.

I actually Googled "recent pictures from Nasa" and went to the EO website. I'm pretty sure I had a heart palpitation when I saw the picture. I would have stayed up all night searching. Stuff like this makes me crazy until someone solves it. It's an OCD thing. And you know better than anyone, our family has major OCD issues.

undernevadaskies wrote on Apr 26, edited on Apr 26

Yes, I'm an organization freek. Drives people nuts. Plus when I have to figure something like this out it will drive me crazy till I do. I know of one person with OCD with spending problems but I'm not sure if I know of any others. I do know many of us are driven....
