Hi all, not posted on usenet for a long time! Here's a shot of Jupiter
I took with my C-14 on the night of September 3/4 2010. This
particular shot was taken just as the planet's giant moon Ganymede was
exiting from Jupiter's disk.

thanks. I was just getting desperate regarding the orbital mechanics

Well Morten,I would say the inability to count the 1461 daylight/
darkness cycles from Mar 1st 2009 to Feb 29th 2012 corresponding to 4
complete orbital circuits of 365 1/4 rotations of the Earth is an
amazing sight to behold,especially as you are all convinced there are
366 1/4 rotations of the Earth in an orbital circuit.For a short while
it will remain an issue of unfamiliarity,something people haven't
thought through with any degree of effort however the additional
rotation on Feb 29th needed to square away the 6 hour orbital lag to
allow the 365/366 day calendar system to exist as a convenience
represents that 365 1/4 rotations correspond to an orbital
circumference,circuit and period.

Your belief in 'sidereal time' reasoning as a personal choice would be
fine,similar to that of a flat Earth ideology, were it not that it
intersects with the education system therefore the imaginative idea
that there are 366 1/4 rotations per orbital circuit,in conflict with
what the body experiences and the arithmetic of the calendar dictates
cannot be allowed to exist for any length of time regardless as to how
indoctrinated one may be.People are too intelligent and value
reasoning too much to not accept the correct correlation between 365
1/4 rotations and an orbital period and circuit.

You can't bury yourselves in imaging ,this would only be a disgrace
were it not corrected rather than trying to hide that horrific error
that arose in the late 17th century that is 'sidereal time' reasoning
applied to planetary dynamics and the 'orbital mechanics' built on
that catastrophic reasoning.
