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."
...but what if the moon was behind the planet the moment the pictures were taken?
This is not my opinion. Actually, it's not even an opinion. And I'm nowhere to be seen near it
did you read the article? it said water-like fluid. not water.
I'm no astronomy major type person, but isn't it possible that a moon was in a position directly behind the "planet" from the angle that Hubble's pictures were taken?
I also didn't read the article as news like this doesn't really interest me. Its these discussions that I go for.

maybe the moon is *behind* sedna, playing hide 'n seek
No encryption can withstand the power of the Lucky Guess.
All your moon are belong to us.
Liberalism...the next best thing to thinking.
