When we planted the flag on Mars, we surely left footprints.

I have had a very small (white) planet circling a large star since 10:00am Tuesday of this week. It still hasn't completed a full circle around it but it appears to be about 12 hours from doing so.

Here is a screen shot:

“Earth’s other ‘moon’ and its crazy orbit could ...”

But it will require more federal funding.

Way. Cool.

I love that website. It's like Spirograph for grownups.

The only thing that would be better is if it were 3D and the mouse could be used to rotate it without disturbing the path lines.

Yeah, I hate it when I have to recenter and it erases all of the path lines.

This is the first time I have ever gotten one to last this long. There are three other tiny planets that escaped orbit. I am waiting for one of them to circle back and mess it up but after two days I suspect that they found a black hole on someone else’s computer.

I have to reboot Friday prior to backing my system up so it will end then.

Should have stopped reading at “We all know and love the moon”. But I didn’t.

Any amateur astronomer (except the lunatics who look at the Moon [lunatics....Moon...get it]) would FAR rather the Moon be painted flat black or something. It totally interferes with seeing 13th mag galaxies.

"...even mining them for the rare-earth rare-moon metals"

Fixed it.
