There's no range simply because it cannot even be approximated from the data we're analyzing. The laws of physics don't allow it. Joe |

Knowing the bearing we can create a 3-d cone radiating from Earth. This along with star data can give us an interesting visual of possible source locations. |

...we can fix a source from the cone (for example- a bearing taken from the month of June and another bearing taken from January of the SAME source - hence opposite side of the Sun), giving us range. This project is engaged in the search for the first "Same source". Once found, the 0.05 degree beamwidth of the receiver means the best that could be determined by triangulation from observations 6 months apart is whether the source is within our solar system or further out. However, an identified source would obviously be observed as many ways as practical. The bearing might be improved enough to match that of a particular star, then a reasonably accurate range could be determined. Joe |

I have the STAR MAP, but it's not showing any detail of gausians/Spikes etcetera. They are listed in the Tool Bar Menus, but all have Zero's beside them. There are NO Symbols of Any Type on The Actual Map. Any ideas what my problem is. The Map is just like a BACKGROUND that can be Resized with The ZOOM Tool. GALAXY-VOYAGER |

Eric, Does that mean that if there are Anomolies, that Contain Water Molecules and/or Moisture/Vapour, floating around in the Vast Spaces of The Universe, that their could be some form of Life (in the general sense of Bacteria etcetera), and if so, this could have some connection to some form of E.T.L. ?
