Andrew, or BT, you may be able to answer a question,

a few weeks ago, I received an email with the information of a certain
planet which was coming the closest it has ever been to Earth and would be
as bright if not brighter than the moon, also as large as the moon, Today I
asked the bloke who sent the email to me and another woman standing there
claimed it was a hoax, but, then I told her that when I was on a
constitutional outing to the lemon tree, I saw a planet which was brighter
than most other stars and close to the moon,
I took photos of it and downloaded it and saw that it was certainly a planet
or a small moon, blue in colour,
Question is...... Have you or anyone else knowledgable in the stellar
regions, heard of it and which planet it is ??

I also took photos of the smiley moon when it was

 

Thought first by your inference, that I had already had it won

 

Only the wanker bit.

 

Good one

 

And by yourself being one, you can then recognise one?

I figure it would be pretty much indistinguishable from the
trophy for the most elaborate coffee-making apparatus, no?

Gee, Thanks, that was much better and the sync was good

 

I have a travel scope but even it's a bit big for the bike to be honest.

I'll have to think about the issue of telescopes and bike travel

Too bad you are all the way down there, else you could borrow my
towbar and trailer

OMG, lol.

 

In the last couple of weeks try Jupiter though it's not bluish.
There's a few hoaxes about Mars and a Mayan reference but there's about
as much credibility in them the next year too. I mean can you believe
Mars will be at its closest in thouasands of years for four years
straight now ?

If any planet ever winds up visually as large as the moon, we're
probably fucked. The moon is roughly 384400 km away and a radius of
1750Km. By comparison Venus is ~3000Km across but it is vastly further
away. To appear visually as large as the moon, it would need to be
roughly within 1M Km. According to Wolfram Alpha it's about 60 times
that far away.

I think somehow the deranged auntie who invented it is having a laugh
reading your post. Did it have an incredimail or hotmail link on the
bottom of the pearl of wisdom ?

 

Reason I posted this question is that I took photos of a star or planet
which was far brighter and larger than others
not that I believe the email, but with the thingy in the sky, you never know

 

What you need to get, old son, is a Hubbly Davidson...

Very clever, I take it the exhaust pipes come off and join together to
make the telescope...

No - no - he needs a Newton Commando

 

I was envisaging a trike with a big fat refractor telescope complete
with its own dome fairing sitting behind the driver (I say 'driver'
because trikes lean exactly like cars don't.) g,d,r...
