Enjoy. Or not. Among the petulance and knobbery there are links and explanations of why the Moon orbits the Sun.

There is a better thread but I couldn't find it in the time available.

It took me a minute to work out why the Star Party rather than the trip to Spain was the exciting part.

El Asociación Astronómica de Toledo saluda Sant Iago! :D

Have fun anyway.

My recollection is that it is argued that although the moon orbits the Earth, it's trajectory takes it round the Sun without crossing its own path, so the Moon and Earth are both planets, and follow near identical Sun orbits. Were the Earth removed the Moon would be the third planet, presumably rena...

A sidereal day is the time it takes for a given fixed star to appear to return to the same position in the sky (ignoring precession and nutation). On Earth it's about 23 hours 56 minutes. During that time the Earth advances in its orbit so that the Sun appears to have moved with respect to the back...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5283956.stm?ls Looks like a whole bunch of astrologers chose to leave early for a long weekend rather than stay and vote. Now they are bitching that the vote went against them. :roll: I think including Pluto was wrong and that has been corrected, but the rest is j...

Out with the Typex, there are only 8 planets; Pluto is demoted for years of underachievement, poor annual reviews etc.

Mmmmmmmmmm mature 10 year olds . . .

It's all in the way you roll your "r"s.

There is actually a joke floating around the internet, something like ten reasons why he was Hispanic. I'll have to dig it up.

Must remember smileys, must remember smileys, must remember smileys . . .

Now we're virgin on the ridiculous . . .

I have a head full of trivia, little of it useful.

Come on people, try and keep up with meaningless star gossip.

Bowie and Iman.

So if Christ was born Jewish why did he have a Mexican name?

The Imam?

I don't think Dragon Star is a shia, but he can correct me if I am wrong. . .

There are some around here that are full of shia, but Dragon Star isn't among them.

Perhaps this would help?

You're forgetting Olive. Gets a mention in the line "Olive, the other reindeer . . ."

I'll get my coat.

Enzo I'm not getting the photo, I'm guessing David Bowie's missus?

Ah those wacky Germans, always putting money in banks in Burkina Faso and then not telling anyone they have.

Meanwhile, I have a large selection of famous bridges for sale, this is the most recent addition to our catalogue.

I pull the pin and count to . . . what number is it ?

If you have time to spare, plasmapheresis (sp?) is more useful. They centrifuge your blood, give you back the red stuff and keep the plasma and various lumpy bits. It takes about 3/4 of an hour and you recover faster since all you have to replace is liquid not cells and liquid. It is possible to hav...

The 62nd anniversary of this. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Give me time I'll find a link between the two . . .

Well, at least you got them off the streets. :P Where's [strike]Mel[/strike] William Wallace when you need him? Speaking of Wallace, when I visited Scotland I noticed that the statues of Wallace didn't look anything like Mel Gibson. An RAF buddy I made while I was there, said that there was a new s...

I can't see a thing, it's broad daylight here, has been for hours . . .

Enzo I was about to ask in another thread what you were doing up at that ungodly hour. Question answered.

I realised after I posted that was either the straightline to a joke, or close to the truth. I must start using better analogies/examples.

I must also remember not to believe a word you say. :D

Umm, that would be "Britain". And the initial squealing seems to have been to the Pakistani security services who are, of course, Muslim.
