There is a nice illustation of methane rain on the Astronomy Picture of the Day site:
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060802.html I would lose the lightning and maybe lose the hills. The area with the lakes actually appear quite flat. I would also wouldn't call the researchers on those rain studies "astrobiologists", astrometeorologists maybe... -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

QUOTE (volcanopele @ Aug 2 2006, 07:06 PM)  I would also wouldn't call the researchers on those rain studies "astrobiologists", astrometeorologists maybe... I have a feeling like someone different is doing APOD this week. A couple captions this week have been just ever so slightly... off. Like this one; I'm still trying to figure out what it means. Maybe they will get progressively wacky through the week, and by Friday we'll end up with pictures of grey aliens, flying saucers and pyramids "possibly built by ancient astronauts?" ... that would be funny :-) |
