Today's APOD is actually a video not a picture and it is from February 10th.
The video is located here http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140210.html
This video shows the full story of the Felix Baumgartner jump from 39 kilometers above the ground. He was so high up, he needed a space suit and special breathers! This jump broke the previous world record of 32 kilometes and was sponsored by Red Bull. Felix fell for over four minutes in free fall and the footage is amazing. I chose this video becuase it is something different and it shows astronomy in an action based way instead of a observer point of view.
