Hubble Photo of Sedna Suprises Astronomers

waynegoode writes "Soon after the announcement of the discovery of Sedna, the solar system's furthest object and planet wanna-be, the Hubble Space Telescope was pointed at it to answer some of the many questions its discovery generated. The photos were released today and are surprising for what they don't show--a moon. Astronomers were certain it had a moon because of its slow rotation. "I'm completely baffled at the absence of a moon," says Michael Brown, Sedna's discoverer. Story and photo at Universe Today, hubblesite and NASA press release."

Exactly why do so many (or is it a vocal few?) people seem to have a problem with the fact that we went to war and WON?

Uhhm, because it was an unjust war ? Because it was opposed by everyone (outside the USA) ?? Because it was done for OIL ? Because the USA is using Israeli tactics there now, punishing people for cellective guilt ? Do you need more reasons ?

What if Bush creates funding for research that leads to a cure for cancer, is the left then going to complain about Bush's henchmen in lab-coats invading the soverign territory owned by the tumors?

This is called the "straw-man" argument. You build yourelf a straw-man to attack. Please try to be more logical in your speach.

They support terrorists because terrorists are useful to them. Terrorists attack the very people they most want to see done in, namely anyone ...

There are no terrorists in Iraq .. Or at least there were'nt before the USA started bombing everything there and puting the country's future wealth in it's pockets. (In the form of reconstruction-contracts).

Wasn't there some guy who once said "As you sow, so shall you reap ?"
