Not sure what the source was. |

QUOTE (SFJCody @ Jan 31 2006, 06:19 PM) There's a post on the badastronomy forums saying that the orbital period of the satellite has been found to be 15.42 days. Four significant figures already, and with those fuzzed out images? Guess it could be true -- but it sure sounds like bad astronomy, alright. |
