Messier Object Astronomy Pictures of the Day
Since June 16, 1995,
Robert Nemiroff,
Jerry Bonnell and Jay Norris
provide Astronomy Picture
of the Day (APOD), an online presentation of a selected astronomy
image, updated daily. Among these images are of course many Messier object
images - also see their
pictorial Messier
index and their search engine created
Messier list.
Below we list the result of an overall scan of the APOD images.
Please notify me of any errors and
omissions ..
