Oct 2, 2009 - It seems to me just a question from someone seeking knowledge. Even if he were suggesting "god" did it.. it is generally a good idea to approach the passing of knowledge with as little spewing of venom and insult as possible. This is part of the problem. If you have the knowledge but are unwilling to share it, or you make people take a self-esteem hit in order to grasp it, then you will do nothing but push them away.

Oct 2, 2009 - Gee! Thanks ForgetGod666. I just asked a question was it necessary to call me a dumbass. I mean really! OK fine I won't ask questions and learn anything... is that what you want?

Oct 4, 2009 - This makes my 4" refractor images look like toy pictures... still, it's around 22,000km closer than Mt Wilson.

Oct 5, 2009 - I watched this in 1994 with my 6 year old son through a 10" dobsonion and as the planet turned the shockwave came into view looking like a huge donnut with a black center. The ripple could be seen clearly on the outer edge ! Many times the size of the earth ! spectacular.

Oct 10, 2009 - he asked a normal question! well three actually... he started out with: I was wondering... not "I am so much smarter than everyone else" I can't see anything in his comment that points to him being a "smartass". however your comment shows that YOU were trying to be a smartass. by teaching him your knowledge and saying he is dumb. and right now I'm being a smartass against you, but you deserve it! don't kick people, who want to learn, in the nuts...

ZephyrinSkies Says:

Oct 22, 2009 - That's so cool!!! Would be great to so it myself.

luptoneous Says:

Oct 31, 2009 - WOW. I would have loved to have been there to see that. I have a nice size telescope, nothing like Mt. Wilsom obviously, however I live in a city and don't really have anyplace in the country I could take it.

Nov 4, 2009 - Jupiter is a very nice planet. Its atmosphere visibly distorts its non-transparent features. It IS an atmosphere that is liquid to solid the deeper one 'watches'. :)

thomashfly Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - very nice! btw, in my experimental novel "Bugzilla!" my two "heroes" go to Mt. Wilson to use the 60-inch Hale telescope. the scene contains a history of Mt. Wilson beginning at about page 89 (bookmark = Mt_Wilson_Trail) ... yahoo group bugzilla-novel ... files - Bugzilla-4-Nov-2009.doc
