I do feel a twinge of sympathy for today&#039;s TFTDer. Whatever he or she could come out with, it was always going to look a bit trite and small next to this APOD. When you contemplate the patience, method, determination, ingenuity and genius that led to this map and even our current understanding of it, let alone what it is actually telling us, some twaddle woven about a possibly entirely fictional reactionary carpenter who got nailed to a tree and his cantankerous invisible dad seems nothing more than an insult to the thousands or tens of thousands whose work led to this image.

Anyone else feel the same? It would be great to be able to insist that the TFTDer has to use the APOD and some factual detail about it as his launch pad. Although I imagine they&#039;d be able to spin it away somehow.|EMAIL|peter.martin17@btconnect.com|IP-ADDRESS|109.150.253.122|MODERATIONFLAG|
