I try to avoid linking to my own blog (figuring that if you guys think something's worthwhile you'll post a link, else not!), but in doing so today it's only to point you all to some amazing detective work done by another UMSFer, Ted Stryk:

Ted that an amazing find congratulations on your discovery!!! I made a 4 frame animation from your image.
http://astronomy.fm/skylogs/heliosphere/23...ng-Neptune.html How do you get access to the Voyager 2 data? would you be interested in doing a interview on one of our radio shows? I think it is amazing to find data that has been over looked and look forward to more discoveries. Tony |

Ted, your work is just incredible !!! I witnessed the VGR2 encounter at JPL in 1989 and I'm amazed by what you did with those "old" images. Thanks again and CONGRATULATIONS !!!! |
