One error, it calls asteroid Eros, 'Eris'. Oops!
Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

QUOTE (Astro0 @ Oct 28 2009, 08:49 AM)  jasedm...what are the errors? don't leave us in the dark! I didn't want to be nit-picky - it's a marvellous piece of work, but yes the Eros/Eris leapt out at me, and also, a moon of Saturn called 'Thetis'??? Interestingly, the astronomer Pickering announced the discovery of a new moon in Saturn's system at the turn of the last century, which he named 'Themis' - it was never confirmed, and appears to have been an error. |

QUOTE (centsworth_II @ Oct 29 2009, 06:52 AM) Looks like a classic album cover to me. That was from their late Folk period, 1972. Wikipedia takes up the sorry story: After the disappointing sales of "Music of the Spheres" (one brief week in the Top 100 for the album) and a disasterous appearance on Top of Pops (where their novelty single "Uranus here we come" elicited the fury of Mary Whitehouse) Doug and Stu followed the route of so many disillusioned pop stars in the early 70s . They went Glam. The gamble paid off when their album "New Horizons" went Platinum....

Wait a minute. Doug is NOT that much shorter than Stu. Was Doug standing in a hole in the ground or was Stu standing on a stool?

The photographer wanted DEPTH and PERSPECTIVE - so I was standing in Aberdeen, Stu was standing in Carlise, and the Sun was 4 microns from the front of the lens.
