I guess that as Wild II is a periodic comet, it has been in the inner solar system enough times to get this kind of battering." >>> Matt, continuing the conversation begun in the planetary observing forum about the pockmarked surface of Wild 2--that's a good guess on the possible origin of those craters. My question is: With that kind of battering (or venting), how do those comets stay in the same orbit? -------------------- Michael Rosolina 8" f/10 Orange Tube SCT 4.25" f/4.2 Astroscan Reflector SVP 3.6" f/13.6 CA Reflector 40mm PST f/10 APM Germany HD 15x70 binoculars Canon 12x36 IS II binoculars Mark I Eyeball My CN Gallery Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Stardust Anonymous 01/03/04 02:34 PM Re: Stardust matt   01/03/04 04:21 PM Re: Stardust <> Craters on Wild 2 Special Ed   01/04/04 01:58 PM Re: Stardust <> Craters on Wild 2 matt   01/04/04 03:09 PM Re: Stardust <> Craters on Wild 2 Special Ed   01/04/04 10:29 PM Re: Stardust desertstars   01/03/04 02:53 PM Re: Stardust Anonymous   01/03/04 03:45 PM Re: Stardust Anonymous   01/03/04 04:01 PM Re: Stardust matt   01/03/04 04:26 PM Extra information 2 registered and 5 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
