That's true, but when you're done you can add in a landscape from anywhere on Earth. So you could take the analemma in Japan and then fly to Brazil and get a nice landscape.
Maybe there should be some "Analemma Committee" where you send in your film and they judge it as real and post it on a website and give you the much deserved credit. And if it's not on said website, assume that it was done with digital assistance or it was done 100% digitally.
Or maybe I'm making a bigger deal out of this than it is.:)
I wonder how it's possible to check a digital image to see if it's real or not. I just took an existing analemma and overlayed a random landscape on top of it (which is similar to what is done on film, I think).
I used to drive a lot for long hours during the night. I would catch myself dozing off quite a bit..
I'd then break out my digital camera and take pictures of the road, myself, buildings, etc. I'd also set it on my dashboard and do a long exposure image to catch the headlights of cars and city lights (for a cool streaking effect). I had a lot of fun and it kept me awake.
Was it dangerous? Nah. I can operate my camera without looking at it really, so I was able to keep my eyes on the road (and keep them open).
Yeah, that was the plan. The shuttle would go up with the MPLM (Multi Purpose Logistics Module) with supplies in it. After the supplies are loaded and the MPLM is empty, it's loaded with trash, put back on the shuttle, and taken back down to Earth.
Americans have no real heroes because nobody lays their life on the line for big ideas.
There are plenty of people who would be willing to put their life on the line for big ideas if they were not being stopped by outside forces (the government, perhaps).
A few facts from a book that never leaves my desk (called Nature's Building Blocks):
It is dangerous because of the alpha particles it emits, but alpha particles are unable to penetrate even some of the thinnest materials.
Pu-238 is used as an energy source in heart pacemakers (also used for some instruments on Apollo 14, and on both Voyager missions).
I knew a man who ingested some. They figured out that the likeleyhood of him catching cancer from it was very small.
I'm assuming it was plutonium oxide? I think it also mentions the body absorbs about.4% but it can be dangerous if that little amount ends up in your bone marrow.
Still seems enough to blow dust around the entire planet, surely it could blow a little off some solar panels? Especially if it took in air and compressed it then let it go.
Or even bring our own "canned air" and use it when the solar panels are working x% of normal.
You can't tell me there isn't some sort of solution to combat this problem for future missions (well, unless of course problem was money/budget related, then I understand).

Well, that now makes all rats possible terrorists. Please report any unusual rat activity ASAP.

Like this? I did that in a few minutes.

So you're telling us the probe is doomed?
Riiiiiight.
"Is it on?"
"Yeah."
"Are you sure?"
"Uh.. n-yeah."
...9 months later...
"It's a girl!"
Here it is (below):
Cool stuff, huh?
I can just see it now: Linksys routers with stickers that say 'Perfigo Ready.'"
I just see more open WAPs myself. =D
I thought the JWST was supossed to be the "Hubble replacement" sometime next decade? It should also replace Spitzer, too.
I'm not complaining! Let's get more telescopes above our atmosphere and look at the really interesting wavelengths!
That's just plain stupid.
Also: s/supermen/batmen/
:D
Anyone have a running tally for both?

My bomb explodes when exposed to 325 - 532 nm green laser wavelengths!
Well, if food keeps coming up contaminated, we know who to blame (those crazy chefs)!
Maybe fear of losing their job will improve the preparation process?
On shooting first, I made an animated GIF of the sequence so people can see it instead of pictures:
:(
Small (~600k)
Medium (~2mb)
Be gentle.

Mod parent up. Grandparent post is wrong. Any quick Google search would show the same.

Nope, make that .04%! Even better! :)
Yes, thank you!

Couldn't they just attach some kind of minor vent system that would blow off at least some of the dust that collects on the panels?
If anyone is still reading:
I created a small and short animated GIF of the Han/Greedo sequence. You can get it here.
Hmm, your link is broken. This should fix it. =X
Doesn't the third law of Thermodynamics(sp?) state that it is not possible to reach absolute zero?
Yup, that's what it says.
Eh, it's Slashdot. I can't really assume anything. ;)
