“That's okay. I am getting ready to fly up to Alaska.”

Welcome back LeGrande.
(Hopefully your trip went well.)

Anyway, I just though I would ping everyone so we could resume our discussion...

[LeGrande]

I actually thought about our discussion while I was navigating : ) I am going to take you on as a project. I tutor some of my neighbors kids so why not you?

Will you do this for me? Go outside and pound a stake into the ground pointing the stake at the sun in such a way that it doesn’t leave a shadow. Then 8.3 minutes later can you pound another stake into the ground at the same point as the previous stake, this stake too needs to not leave a shadow.

Then I want you to measure and calculate the angle between the stakes : ) Longer stakes will make the measurements easier and more accurate.

Another thing I would like you to think about is what are the effects of frequency on the Electromagnetic Spectrum. You already understand that the only difference between radio, tv, radar and visible light is the frequency. Do you also understand that that particles like X-rays, y-rays nuclear, y-rays artificial and y-rays, in cosmic rays, are all particles? And that the only difference is the frequency?

Check out my photos of Jupiter and its moons! Yeah yeah, so I used a kid's toy telescope and a lens from an old 8mm home movie projector. (The telescope is a Meade DS-90 refracting unit with about a 90mm aperture and 1m focal length.)



I ran the second two photos through several stages of blurring and unsharpmask to try to bring out the stripes. Also note that my camera was quite probably not very level.
