Re: APOD: Prometheus Creating Saturn Ring... (2010 Aug 02)
The image says something different to the text, Prometheus strip and generates the tapes but these are being passed and become another ring on the inside. Not seem to build up material on the surface of the satellite.

Re: APOD: Venus Once Molten Surface (2010 Aug 01)
Now we have Venus in the East, coincidentally aligned as we saw the last day, looks like a star, but of course does not blink so it is a planet that sunlight returns, but the question is imposed, when stop being star whose heat core is still firing, slowing the consolidation of the surface. Of cours...

In extremes of the image we have the Sun in its fullness and in the larger center. It is a remarkable phenomenon that makes gain size.

Re: APOD: Sunset, Shadowrise (2010 Jul 29)
On which projects the shadow of the earth? I think about the atmosphere itself and which forms the belt of venus? I think about the atmosphere itself with the color of sunlight at the surface through the stains of that color. I hope to rectify if different.

Re: APOD: The Trifid Nebula is Stars and Dust (2010 Jul 28)
Yesterday I said "Dust is the rest of ruined bodies, so it is the end and not the principle," and intended to say-not noted for being out of context, which is returned to the process when it is taken up by the rising stars. Thus the image of the time we see such extremes are enforced and d...

Re: APOD: The Milky Way Over Bryce Canyon (2010 Jul 27)
The analogy of the central body of the Milky Way that the author has changed in the form of mountains intertwined with mounds worn also by the remains of other worn mountains leads to presume that those like they are part of the same family. Powder is the rest of ruined bodies, so it is the end and ...

Re: APOD: Lutetia: The Largest Asteroid Yet... (2010 Jul 26)
Lutetia is a M-type asteroid in the asteroid belt, about 100 km in diameter. Lutetia is the Latin name for Paris. It was discovered on November 15, 1852 by Hermann Mayer Salomon Goldschmidt from the balcony of his apartment in Paris. The size of the craters is presumed that belonged to a larger body...

Re: APOD: Diamond Ring and Shadow Bands (2010 Jul 24)
The Moon moves away from one centimeter per year, so that in two million years I started to not cover the solar disk and therefore there will be no more eclipses. True as the sun is not reduced in size, with the expulsion of matter because the eruptions take much to become a red giant and expand its...

Radius of the orbit of Rhea is 527 000 km and 151,000 km of Janus, in the image rhea is closer to Saturn, so you must be behind Janus although the image seems to say otherwise. The last ring extends to 480 000 km.
