Re: APOD: Rio Morning Moonset (2011 Apr 20)
Hey all! First up, great image! Thanks. Second up, I'm confused...

Why didn't the capsule burn up like a meteorite would have?

Re: Fixing HST (APOD 2009 May 20)
'afternoon BMAONE23, Thanks for the reply. I am surprised to hear that the reflection could be coming from something only a mile or so away. I thought (with no factual basis at all :-) that the shuttle would keep well away from all the other objects to reduce the risk of damage. I guess a mile is fa...
