It really reminds you how big the moon is when you consider how long left there is and that the moon is already filling up the entire frame, we always consider the moon small next to earth but in it's own right it's still enormous.

In the current view on screen now, Cabeus is just below and to the left of center

'Mornin' everyone. Just got the NASA feed working on my computer; @#$% cable company here STILL don't carry NASA TV.
(The marine layer has torpedoed plans to set up my scope!) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

'Mornin' everyone. Just got the NASA feed working on my computer; @#$% cable company here STILL don't carry NASA TV. (The marine layer has torpedoed plans to set up my scope!) Be careful. Even if NASA TV doesn't show up on your digital cable box lineup, NASA TV may still be available over clearQAM by plugging the coax directly into your TV. That's the case here in Tucson with Cox Cable. In Tucson, it's on channel 72-4. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

Bit humorous there when they went thru the station checks and concluded with "go for impact". It's not like they can scrub...

NO! Eating peanuts during a crash (even when deliberate) confuses the flying spaghetti monster and then he won't be able to be relied upon to guide our future soft landing missions down safely with his noodly appendage. |
