Me too! I was wondering if VLT was an actual term.
To: DAnconia55
So even with a small one he could clearly see the Rings of Uranus?

"Maybe it's me, but where is the light source(s) coming from?" Shadows do look a little odd, I think it's just the angles of the arrays.(?)

LOL!
Actually, what I was laughing at was the name "Very Large Telescope." But your anecdote made me laugh, too!

"I say a huge hit, followed by years of rocks tumbling down" Yup. To all the other planets and their moons.

Jupiter has one but its too faint to be seen from Earth. Nevertheless it was reported by an amateur astronomer in the 50s in Sky&Telescope.

Can you explain the differring angles of sun shadow to us? We don't seem to be getting it here.
To: VMI70
I heard they were wiped out. Another Har de har har.
To: blam
I'm glad everyone ignored your plea. ;')
