You are right, I hadn’t been following this.
I guess this is this years ‘Mars as big as the Moon’ story for the internet.
I don’t hold too much for Phil P. He really IS a bad astronomer. Totally bought into the whole Algore Global Warming scare.
I use to read his blog, but, he got WAY to involved with AGW and I just quit.
That's comforting... thanks for sharing.
