If the earth's orbit were such that the season when the earth was closest to the sun was reversed it would lead to a cooler earth as more ice would accumulate on the Northern hemisphere. -----Original Message----- From: baxman2@comcast.net Sent: Friday, July 6, 2007 12:18 PM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Utah-astronomy] FW: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 53, Issue 5 Why isn't the date of the summer solitice, and the date of the farest distance of Earth from the Sun, not the same? -------------- Forwarded Message: -------------- From: utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 53, Issue 5 Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 18:15:07 +0000 Send Utah-Astronomy mailing list submissions to utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at utah-astronomy-owner@mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Utah-Astronomy digest..."

The whole link begins with the usual "http" and ends with "=54". http://www.tooeletranscript.com/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=22445&Itemid=54 And, FWIW, I spent most of the interview talking about the economic and health issues related to light pollution. Funny how that got left out so it looks like we only care about dark skies. Sigh... pw On 05 Jul 2007, at 22:29, Jim Stitley wrote:

So does a good dog or a 12 gauge. Congrats again on your position with Clark. ;) Quoting Patrick Wiggins :
