Comments on: What's Up – The Weekend SkyWatcher's Forecast http://www.universetoday.com/2008/04/18/whats-up-the-weekend-skywatchers-forecast-4/ Space and astronomy news Sun, 8 Nov 2009 08:15:54 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: karebear http://www.universetoday.com/2008/04/18/whats-up-the-weekend-skywatchers-forecast-4/comment-page-1/#comment-18696 karebear Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:32:20 +0000 http://www.universetoday.com/?p=13723#comment-18696 Tammy, Thanks for publishing "What's Up" again, even in a weekend edition. I suppose most of us are able to observe during the weekend. And yes, the Nearly Full Moon was stunning on Friday night - blinding even with a grey filter. (I took my telescopes to a Girl Scout Camp over the weekend and was able to wow a few people with the Moon and Saturn...) We had bad weather here on Saturday night. I hope to see more of "What's Up!" Thanks! Tammy,

"per square inch" now reads "per cubic inch" - the correct terminology. As for odd? I'm sorry. Eclipsing binaries are one thing... But to have an eclipsing spectroscopic binary whose primary star is also a pulsating variable is just a little off the norm. Done.

Sorry to be picky but I'm sure you'll fix it asap. 2 tons per square inch? Sorry to be picky but I'm sure you'll fix it asap.
