Here's a shot of Jupiter obtained last night. The sky conditions were
slowly sinking into the mire though.

Hi group
I have an ETX125 that will not run when connected to an external power
source.
It runs fine off the internal batteries but not when an external

 This moon cycle is very odd? New moon appeared way to north and
progressed to south. Now it is heading towards the East. I have seen it
rise in ENE and get a little higher each night. I am not so familiar
with all the moon movements so this may be normal. Any comments?

MARS GLOBAL SURVEYOR IMAGES
June 1-7, 2006
The following new images taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on
the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft are now available:

OK we know Einstien's GR is a four-dimensional theory. Time could not be
separated from space. They interact with one another.  This I always
found interesting about this guy Kalusa he gave this to us. "What if"
you formulated GR in five dimensions? So he did the math and here is

When in the Northern hemisphere and an object is referred to as (say) West
of North, is the reference to North from the (true) North Horizon upto the
Zenith, from the (true) North Horizon upto Polaris or is the North South
divide simply a great semicircle linking the South and ...

No comet chunks have hit the Earth since yesterday.  No tsunamis have
occurred either.  All you wacko DOOM AND GLOOMERS, saucerfreaks and
nutjobs have miserably failed in yet another prediction!  Eric
Julien's prediction (as I stated over and over!) did NOT happen!  The

Leaving an hour before 6pm  So that I would not post to late. don't
think I will be missed. Bert and I think alike. I"m just a little bit

"It's now possible to replace a defective, damaged, or diseased penis
with a penis grown in a laboratory -- in rabbits.
But the finding promises an amazing new treatment for infants, boys,

In an effort to resurrect this apparently moribund group, I would like
to redirect your attention to the following posts:
1. "Are there binary globular clusters" - April 1
2. "Discrete Self-similarity" - March 27.

In Prof Wright's well explained cosmology FAQ he has the following
question and answer:
Are quasars really at the large distances indicated by their redshifts?
The short answer is Yes.

This has bothered me since 6th grade science class, when we covered
weathering and soil formation. I thought of that bootprint. After class
I asked the teacher if the moon had an any atmosphere at all. (It was a
leading question.)  He of course said no. I asked him where the dirt on

   Question:  Do scientists know where the center of the universe is?  I
know you can say there is no center since the universe is always expanding,
but galaxies and stars and hurtling away from each other, correct?  Can't
scientists just reverse the path that galaxies and stars ...

I just want a website that will let me identify the stars that I can
see in the sky tonight from the UK.  Can someone recommend a website
that is easy to use.
