It would be great if crowds of people would have some knowledge of celestial mechanics and Astronomy, but some don't or heaven't had the means to have been able to keep up to date, therein lies the hoax hearders' prey. Sad, I know.

To, JimO, I'm sorry about your mother finding this this way and I'm sure you've tried to remidied that... steared her towards the truth. I think she'll understand. My mother is ninety five and I don't tell her much about such things, but she did know that her Astronomical fan of a father was called a lunatic when he said that man would someday land on the moon. :) Best regards to JimO and his mother.

The delusion seekers can take a hike. Unfortunately, they don't know which way is up.
