I had a good laugh (need 'em these days) when I saw the Astronomy Picture of the Day, the APOD for 1 April 2020. Jack Sutton photographed a funny lookin' tater.
See the APOD photo from 29 Jan 2019 from the NASA team.
When I reached out to Jack for his permission, we had an amusing conversation. I told him this hit the mark for me. Two of my favourite things.
He said that he sent it to APOD back in May 2019 but didn't hear back. He assumed they didn't find it all that amusing. He was as surprised as anyone when they featured it.
Then he told me he still had the potato and that it looked even more like an asteroid now that it has dried out.
Jack shared he was in lock-down in the UK. He might have to eat the peculiar spud! Yum.
