Absolutely fascinating, but at the same time rather frightening realising how vulnerable we are at the mercy of the planets. Perhaps sometime in the future other life forms will make themselves known. We are here on earth, I can't see any reason why there isn't other life forms, maybe of a different kind, somewhere else in the universe.

It is nothing of the sort. It's a 'God of the gaps' fallacy. i.e. we don't know why there are 'universal laws', therefore there must be a 'God'. And it's also not true. The 'laws of nature' may well vary across the Universe, there is evidence that this is the case.

Hi all Wave If this is true - a giant outer planet - it pulls a well-held law regards the distribution of the planets. All of the known planets fit into a cigar shape, smallest at either end with the biggest in the middle. If we do have another giant, clinging to our sun's gravitational field, so far out, the question beggars whether it is an orphan from another planetary system. This is not a new subject either. I listened to a lecture at the Technical College theatre in 1965 where there was speculation about what was causing additional wobbles. PS. I was awake in the early hours watching "The Orionids" - no not the latest rock group, a meteor shower cluster.

Hi all Wave Not so much to see last night, but the shower peaks tonight & tomorrow. It's the tail-wake from Comet Haley. I am late getting up this morning in consequence.

Not only that, you're seeing it in the position it was at more than an hour ago, in that time it has moved 22,000 miles to the left assuming you are viewing it when it's closest to earth (or to the right if you're in the southern hemisphere).

Hi all Wave Might be a clear night for the Leonids - not the latest chart topper, just a sky topper. No special equipment needed, just some warm clobber. Find your darkest spot away from lighting.

On Wednesday night I was unable to see the full Worm Moon because of cloud - so called by old gardeners as the sign of spring and the sighting of worms in the garden due to warmer air. There was an old saying, 17th century (when the gardening rage was for walks) - 'The white lilac walk in the moonlight, the golden laburnum walk in the sunlight'.
