Today's picture shows a Native American family taking a ride in a car. The picture was taken in 1916 in the Pacific Northwest. An interesting an unusual picture.


I fear the Evil Nate Maas is up to his old tricks again, and it looks like he is trying to organize a Comment Embargo in response to my one day Picture Embargo in response to your lethargic comments one day. As is his MO, he is working through others to do his dirty work, and apparently has drawn long time "first every morning" commenter DADD into his evil scheme. At first I tried to ignore this, but it is clear further action will be required. The alleged complaint by this mounting insurrection is the lack of domestic updates related to Chickie Town. Well, there have been some changes out in Chickie Town, and I am hesitant to share them as they might offend large portions of long time OPOD readers.

One day when I was out in the country visiting my stepfather. We were sitting out by the fire and there was a big pile of wood leading into the forest. After a couple hours we started to hear a meowing sound, so it took us about a half hour to find this little beauty. Then about 45 minutes to get him out of the thorns he managed to get stuck in. He’s been the absolute sweetest thing every since. He’s very mouthy and a huge cuddler, but he’s the best thing to come into the house in a long time.

This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a suite of dark sand dunes that formed in winds blowing from east (right) to west (left), along with smaller, lighter-toned ripples and many dark dust devil tracks. The dust devil tracks indicate movement from a variety of directions, while the dunes only indicate winds from the east. In the lower left quarter of the image, dune sand has flowed around a layered rock obstacle. This scene is located near 19.9°N, 280.5°W. The image covers an area about 3 km (1.9 mi) across and sunlight illuminates the scene from the lower left. MGS MOC Release No. MOC2-826, 22 August 2004

It\'s difficult not to think of an egg when looking at Saturn\'s moon Methone, seen here during a Cassini flyby of the small moon. The relatively smooth surface adds to the effect created by the oblong shape.

Small moons like Methone are not generally spherical in shape like the larger moons. Their small sizes means that they lack sufficient gravity to pull themselves into a round shape. Scientists think that the elongated shapes of these moons may be a clue to how they formed.

Lit terrain seen here is on the leading side of Methone (2 miles, 3 kilometers across). North on Methone is up. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 20, 2012.

The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) from Methone and at a Sun-Methone-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 63 degrees. Scale in the original image was 88 feet (27 meters) per pixel. The image has been magnified by a factor of 2.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA\'s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.
