| | |  NASA pulls Harry Potter April Fools prank!
For their "Astronomy Picture of the Day," the staff at NASA showed a photo of American and Russian astronauts playing Quidditch, and included a bit of play-by-play commentary. Quote:
A historic first Space Quidditch match came to a spectacular conclusion last night as astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria caught the Golden Snitch to give the Americans a hard fought victory over the Russians. "The Russians used brilliant strategy, but only NASA had the T2KQMU (Thunderbolt 2000 Quidditch Maneuvering Unit)," commented Lopez-Alegria, pictured above squeezing the elusive Golden Snitch in his left hand.
