Dillon Levenque Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 1. Describe yourself in two words? Laughs often 2. What surprised you last? The cat actually stopped doing something when told, "NO." 3. What is your current favorite song or album - one you are obsessing over? I listened to "Fly Like a Bird" (boz scaggs) about six times in a row last night. Does that count? 4. What is your mood or feeling today? Unusually quiet 5. What do you most hope for this year? Sanity, or at least something that approaches it. @Eloise: They have roller disco? I thought I was a real trend-setter the night I decided to go dancing in my roller skates. Now you're telling me it is old news? I feel so stupid. I don't have spandex but the overalls are pretty snug ;-). ETA: Forgot. I guess these are sort of mixed SL/RL. I don't have a cat in SL and I don't dance in roller skates in RL. Otherwise they're for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucinda Bulloch Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 it is not a error can still be seen in google sky today, on the 21st dec the earth is highest up, that is what i said and relative to that it does get nearer(Z axis) by going down, the equanox is the crossing of the plane realtive to the sun hence day and night being the same, i am talking of the z axis, not the x and y as you are refering to. the z axis goes from 1.0 to 0.0 then to -1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayalily Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 1. Describe yourself in two words? Permanently exhausted. 2. What surprised you last? ...that there are some people I cannot forgive. 3. What is your current favorite song or album - one you are obsessing over? Always Donald Faegan's "The Nightfly". Worthy of obsession. 4. What is your mood or feeling today? (Or for you NT types, if you prefer: What is most occupying your thoughts?) Permanently exhausted. 5. What do you most hope for this year? To feel better (have energy), and world peace (i.e., the Iranian situation,etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Equinox is not the crossing of the plane, it's the point in the Earth's orbit around the sun. We do dip up and down on the solar plane, but we do that all the time. Speed up the Sun and it wobbles but it's still alright. I suggest you watch this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucinda Bulloch Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 please stop this, there is a 7 degree inclination of the earths orbit to the plane of the sun, please get your facts right, so thats 7.55 degrees to 0. then -7.55, look it up in wiki.

Eloise Baily Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Lucinda I would drop this, but I am an astronomer. I'm sorry but this isn't true. Comet Elenin whipped harmlessly (and very prettily) round the planet. You should Google the images, they're pretty. That was apparently going to destroy the Earth and it didn't. Whatever that is in your picture, please source it, because it's not a image I recognise as something to be analysed. In the highly unlikely event that we do get destroyed by an asteroid in 2012 it will be a coincidence and one that we didn't see coming. If you think we SHOULD have seen it coming? You try it.

Lucinda Bulloch Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Did I say a comet, no I didn't you added those words, I think I said brown dwarf and did I say it was close, no, I said it may have entered our system, now the Russians agree, now investigate it and stop making out its that silly comet.

Lucinda Bulloch Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The Russian talk of one in the ort cloud, they say that it could be dislodging comets, but they say it is getting closer, there was a huge explosion on Jupiter a few months back, but the Russians have plotted it and say it could come as close to us as Jupiter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many ways to detect the presense of such large masses. If pencil math, based on the relatively crude celestial measurements available in 1845 could accurately predict the presence and location of the as yet unseen Neptune, I suspect amateur astronomers all around the world would have spotted something amiss by now.

Also on a tangent, Carl Sagan dismissed the possibility of visiting aliens by postulating that, and I paraphrase, "If they are here and trying to remain unseen they are not doing a very good job of it and if they are here to make contact they are doing an even worse job."

Definitely cool, Maryanne. I bought my first Leo Kottke album (the armadillo) as an LP, back in the dark ages. I was hooked right away. I've been to one live performance, but was not close to enough to smile and be smiled upon. At least I was here, though, and it was amazing I discovered Tommy Emmanuel much later and have only heard him on CDs, so no smiles there either. He is one fantastic guitarist, though.
