Satellite Orbiting the Moon???
Hi Mark,
Did you ever find the list? Of course, with high orbits, they wouldn't be moving as fast and in any orbit, they wouldn't be big enough to display the shape described. I would bet on ISS or a bird. Clear Skies Chuck Taylor Do you observe the moon? Try the Lunar Observing Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lunar-observing/ "Mark" e wrote in message . .. To the best of my knowledge, there are no satellites known to still be orbiting the Moon - there are a couple of dead probes from the 60s which may or may not still be in high orbits, but virtually everything else has... um. Re-entered isn't the right word, really, more "crashed". Coincidence - this month's Astronomy Now has an article on satellites believed to still be orbiting the moon (albeit in high and eccentric orbits). It listed 4, although I can't remember which ones they were. I'll find the article and post the list here later. Mark |
