I didn't know you can see the moon in the daytime!Posted By Bob Schnitzer |
Alan,
Cool image. It looks like you're putting that big chip DMK to fine use.

What I'd like to know is how do you and the other residents of Tecumseh breath without an atmosphere over your heads?
Truly amazing imaging.

Alan,
That's a sweet Clavius. No apologies necessary - always a pleasure to view your work. BTW, did you employ any filters for this shot?

CBS DocumentaryPosted By Bob Schnitzer |
Judson,
There are precious few credible climate scientists with opposing views left nowadays. I suppose CBS felt they were on solid ground by airing these 1 or 2 year old articles. Good data has been coming in for 10 years now from every corner of the atmoshperic science community since this "controversy" began and it has in almost every case bolstered the older data. I seem to remember Mr. Pelli mentioning several times that opposing views were solicited but the solicitations were rejected. As one scientist pointed out last night, science owes a debt to the skeptics because it forces the scientists to sharpen their pencils and scrutinize their methodology. Well, they did and the conclusions are the same. Even Bush and Co. have done a soft 180.
Cheers.

Saturn StromsPosted By Bob Schnitzer |
Fantastic sequence, Jim.
By my quick calculation based on the positions of the storms, they are scudding along at about Mach 10! Somebody correct me if my trig is bad.
latitude of spots = approx 40 degrees
circumference of Saturn at equator = 236,000 mi
circumference at 40 degrees = eqat. circumf x .77 = 182,000
angular travel = approx 15 degrees in one hour
182,000 / 24 = 7580 miles
7,580 / 768 miles/hr(Mach 1) = Mach 9.88
Haul in the jib and clew up the mains'l
