	... not sure if this video has made the rounds here already. Some cool renditions -- and makes you appreciate the Arecibo angle range math ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT2sQ7KIQ-E

	We may well have a faint ring given all of the geosynchronous satellites parked in equatorial orbit. maybe in a thousand years there will be enough hardware up there to create a ring. i imagine that most of them would eventually fall back to earth though. interesting thoughts. regards, Daddio

	That is cool! I wonder how the constant shadow would change the climate? Might help with global warming. :p ____________
