      XPost: alt.astronomy, nl.wetenschap       From: Windows7IsOK@DreamPC2006.com              However I see a little issue with this explanation.              Let's suppose it was a satellite, let's suppose it was stationary.              Then this raises the following questions:              1. How fast does the earth rotate ?              2. How fast does the satellite rotate with it ?              Would the speed be slow enough to reflect the sun light for about 2 to 3       seconds ?              Additional explanation could be rotating satellite, which lengthens the       exposure.              However if calculations would prove that this is impossible then the       hypothesis of a satellite can be dismissed.              Anybody care to do any calculations ? ;)              Bye,        Skybuck.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
