Do you think this picture is real?
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/images/image-details.cfm?imageID=1636

Doesn't it seem like an old long playing record?
And, what is that light in the middle?

A reflection on a plastic surface?

Why have you followed me in this forum,
Well, as ValiantDancer pointed out, I've lurked here before. But I actually was prompted by somebody mentioning the show on this forum. As to why - for the entertainment value, of course. That, and the fact that threads like these are invariably educational.

dear friend sts60?
Not "friend".

Are you in the pay of NASA?
No.

If I don't understand, leave me in my ignorance and leave this forum.
I will not leave this forum unless asked to do so by the moderator, or a significant amount of the members.

I will leave you in your ignorance. But I still have a biscuit for your poor dog.

You know, I'm told there's an excellent skeptic's group in Italy. They speak Italian, even. Perhaps, bigbrain, you should take this issue up with them. They're even capable of making a press release announcing your amazing find(s) to the world, at the extreme embarrassment of NASA.

NASA's buffoons have no telescope able to follow their probes going to Mars or Saturn.

They say that they can locate their probes with a radio signal, but
a radio signal is no use to locate a probe in infinite 3D space

Hey, sts60

have you seen? More than 2000 "Views" in few days.

Everywhere I go, many people listen to me because I say intelligent things

It's no use, folks. We'd have to teach bigbrain how to triangulate, and also that the same techniques apply whether using radio or visible light. If he can't grasp the basic algebra that's already been used, trig isn't going to be easier.

bigbrain, you go on believing whatever it is you want to believe. However, insulting the scientists at NASA based on your mistaken beliefs will get you nothing but ridicule in return.

2106 views divided by 189 replies is a little more than 11 views/reply. We seem to average around 10, so 11 isn't out of the ordinary. A thread about poop would get the same.

No, troll, he's saying that you're nothing special. Don't choke to death in your sleep.
