I will try to create an LPOD each day - I already missed March 28 - but like today, they may be interesting images with little text.<br /> | | <p><em>Note from Chuck Wood: Next Tuesday and Wednesday I travel to NASA Langley Research Center to give a talk about the Moon and another on Cassini and Titan.
