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.
