"A quantum odyssey from the tip of a pen to the dark side of human knowledge:" [^] Quote: Machado’s film draws on 40 years of quantum research – not to mention significant advances in 3D rendering technology – to drill down to the unfathomably small scale of 10-33 metres, brushing up against the limits of human knowledge and imagination. The mindbending animation uses a framework of quantum gravity in which a gravitational field exists at these smallest conceivable scales.

I won't know how I feel until I observe it.

It's been a while since I've looked at APOD. Funny how things become a daily routine and then suddenly the routine stops.

I have missed APOD and have not updated my Windows background for a while...

According to a Guinness Record book which I saw more than four decades ago, this Andromeda galaxy was the farthest object visible to naked eye. Not sure whether that record has changed.

Andromeda is coming closer to us every second. In a billion years or so it may not hold that record anymore, but the night sky might be spectacular.
Edit: Make that 4 billion years[^].

in the early days there was only hydrogen, colorless
a while later some of that blobbed together to make stars (and helium, sadly also colorless)
giving us white where there was a star, and black where there wasn't.
quite a long while later some stars got too heavy and blobbed hydrogen in different ways, for the first time demonstrating other colors.
so yes relatively speaking, color is quite recent.
(actual evidence seen on TV it was was around the late 1950's.)
