Sorry, but here goes: A rope walks into a bar, and orders a drink. The bartender says "Get outa here. We don't serve your kind here." Next day, the rope tries again. He walkes into the bar and orders a drink. The bartender says "Didn't I tell you yesterday? We don't serve your kind here. Get out!" The next day, he ties mihself into a knot, and messes his hair up. Once more he walks into a bar and orders a crink. The bar tender looks at him a bit funny and says "Hey, aren't you that rope that came in here yesterday and the day before?" "Nope - I a frayed knot!" A knot is another way of indicating uneven brightness, sort of like lumpy light. These bright patches are called knots. Brent --- Jim Gibson <xajax99@yahoo.com> wrote:

Unless you're really good, it not much more than a fuzzball with bright knots in it. The same is true with Centaurus A, at least from what I have seen from RV.

I guess I was wondering if it's so close to the horizon that the atmosphere distorts it a lot. Thanks, Joe
