I believe pi was exactly 3, once. There was a time when the Indiana legislature decreed it to be so. I think it was Indiana? Nice article, by the way. Dave On Dec 25, 2011, at 3:06 AM, Joe Bauman wrote:

Many thanks, Larry. I have an acquaintance who found a mistake (which I had already corrected -- originally I'd put "arc-minutes" when I meant "arc-seconds" and had a good comment that it would be better to round off light-years when there's such a big uncertainty in distance, instead of giving the impression of a kind of precision. That happened because I the article was in terms of parsecs plus or minus half a parsec, and when I used an on-line calculator to change it into light-years it gave a strange answer that should have been rounded. Which is to say: Please, everybody, whenever I make a mistake, let me know asap. It's hard to read over your own material with a very critical eye when it's 3 o'clock in the morning and you're getting tired. Worse, I don't have a copy-desk; I have to proof material myself. (Sadly, the Deseret News doesn't have much of a copy desk with all their layoffs, but that's immaterial because I proof my own blogs.) When I know what it's supposed to say it's too easy to read a typo as if it were correct. Cory catches a lot of stuff, because she has been a professional proof-reader, but she doesn't see the blog until many hours later. Also, she wouldn't know that something that's 60 arc-minutes across is too big for this kind of planetary nebula.

Joe, a blog about typos could be very, very amusing.

Or maybe one about astroimaging mistakes. I've got a great one showing the Moon next to the Orion Nebula. and then there's the shot with the bright red sky. patrick
Most of my blogs are about astroimaging mistakes!! ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2011 7:43 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] An ornament in the sky On 27 Dec 2011, at 14:46, Chuck Hards wrote:
