What if? (on man made eclipses)
What if we could make an eclipse on stars that are close to us? I'm
thinking if we could block the Sun's disk we might be able to detect the reflected light of the planets making up its solar system. Could a coronagraph be used for close stars? Bert

Bert Do you think that distant stars cause anything of a glare, enough to obscure the light of orbiting planets?

Close enough for us to easily be able to go there. 200 LY is just fine.

Mark Yes,and not sure at all that we can create an eclipse if the
planet is close to its star. We have our problems with Mercury right here in our back yard Bert

You keep bringing this topic up, BEERTbrain! An interferometer works
better. Saul Levy On Sun, 17 Feb 2008 07:37:54 -0500, (G=EMC^2 Glazier) wrote: What if we could make an eclipse on stars that are close to us?
