That glowy thing that travels around during the light gray time of the day? I once heard a rumor that it was a big burning orb of hot gasses. So that's where Marlon Brando lives. (I live in Burien)

A comet landing in one's yard can spoil your whole day.

The screen saver is very nice (using it now), but definitely check out Celestia. Stunning!

Thanks, I will. I see they have Mandrake RPMs; maybe they'll work on my RedHat system. (And if not... I'm considering changing distros anyway...)

"A comet landing in one's yard can spoil your whole day."

Yup, and people would talk about if for thousands of years.

Interesting that I have only seen TWO comets in my LIFETIME easily visible to the naked eye..Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp in '96 and '97. It was unbelievable!!

Now two in one month....
