Re: APOD: Valles Marineris: The Grand Canyon... (2011 Mar 27

Thanks Owlice I will do that. I've been using my cell phone for calculating unit conversion.
Also thanks to Chris. This old timer didn't know bout that. If I can find my crayons I'll write that down. Just kidding, thanks a bunch.

Re: APOD: Valles Marineris: The Grand Canyon... (2011 Mar 27

Girtie what a gash. I wish the writers would also use miles along with kilometers when they give distances. Some of us old timers have a hard time with kilos. By the time I check it out on my unit converter I already forgot why I was looking it up. :oops:

Very nice. All the naysayers should just be glad that you got what you got. The video was good and the music was too. Besides it didn't cost us anything.

Re: APOD: Six Worlds for Kepler 11 (2011 Feb 03)

Noel, that's exactly what I have wondered and didn't know how to say it. All the planets can't transverse their sun in our plane of sight. What about the ones that go round and round top and bottom or over and under whatever it would be called? :?

It's always amazing to me the beautiful pictures coming back from the Cassini Mission. Todays APOD is the perfect example. The technology and the knowhow to do these things is mind blowing. Always something new and suprising. Keep up the good work guys that knowhow and keep em coming Cassini.
