Comments greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe
I'm with you Joe. As I just commented on your blog I'm waiting for the day when planets are found in the Goldilocks Zone of stars old enough to have life. Actually, that probably should have read "announced" instead of "found" as I can't help but think that some of those 350 or so stars they are keeping quiet about for now might fill the bill. patrick p.s. I'm just back from a night flight Joe. I guess you'll never do it but it would be fun to have you up there one night. With no wind and the lights in the cockpit turned down you can almost imagine you're floating in space. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
