Thank you for thr great information presented on this site! Last night I was able to capture great photos of Mars and it’s two moons to add to my night photography collection (which includes hundreds of phetos of Jupiter and the four Galialean moon cams). With the help of this site now I am ready to capture Saturn! By the way, fancy equipiment isn’t needed to get these shots, the camera I use is a Kodak Z981 with it’s 26X power optical zoom – the camera costs $250-$300.

Thank you Andy… That was almost painful to read. But hey, to each their own… Maybe these facts will challenge Bill’s notions enough to broden his research ;-)

Is it just something I’ve never noticed…..but has the moon, in it’s phases, always been lit by the sun on it’s bottom half? Doesn’t the phases of the moon go from left to right in our view on earth? Am I just seeing an eclipse at those times the moon is lit from below?

Bill, you’ve missed the point. The stars are not planets. Stars and planets are mutually exclusive objects. An object in the sky can be a planet, or a star, but not both – although Jupiter, for example, does emit its own light in certain spectrums, giving off more energy than it receives from the sun. This does not make it a star, however. It would have to be many, many dozens of times more massive to shine by its own light.

What do you mean by “celestialized?” We’re floating – read: hurling – through space right now. We could hardly be more celestialized as it is.

And ‘Kolob’ is not a planet. I’m sorry, but you’re dead wrong about these “truths.” Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.
