Bird,

Be careful not to overdo it or, otherwise, a number of NASA missions will lose their funding with results like yours. :D

Excellent work!

Wow, pretty awesome image.

Any idea what's causing the shadow?

It's worse than that, it's physics Jim!

I propose a ban on bird for teasing us with such stunning imagery. He's definitely off my Christmas card list! :D
