      It's Kepler's 3rd law. If the mass of the main body(m1) is huge, and the m2 is a small part of the equation It - oh crap....where's my text book?!??!

        Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in full view right now. Pluto is just a distant dot in a ~6"

          ...in all honesty, just wanted to watch the latest episode of "The Expanse". Feel like such a bum waiting for the soap opera, but whatever. One of the coolest and most scientifically accurate Sci-Fi fictions worth watching. Lol

            I have all of the new season in my DVR but have not watched any yet. So much to do so little time.

              I'm kinda picky about sci-fi. But that looks sci-fi- fantasy-ish. And Sometimes that bugs the hell out of me. But I will admit, "Odyssey 5" was kinda like that. And it's first few episode were awesome - and became cheesy - yet good!

              I do have a beef with all the latest sci-fi movies. Gravity (As if you can just hop between the ISS and other things, it's all the same orbit!?????)

              And the worst was Interstellar. My goodness. The plot was bad. The writing was bad, but worst of all, that "robot" was bad. Sure, let's make robots out of mindcraft parts. Yea, cause that's what a robot really looks like.

                  Pure fiction is junk. When they are based on read data, I actually enjoy them.

                  ....look at "Star Trek", we all have "triquarters" now (aka cell phone)

                  Movies/series I enjoyed are "Westworld" "Humans" "Expanse", defunct "Revolution" etc.

                    Artificial intelligence will be the death of humanoids. The day we outsmarted ourselves will deplete us.

                          Yup. There's lots of apps for your phone that let's you see where they are. The planets are the brightest "stars" out. In fact if you have binoculars, you might be able to see Jupiter moons depending how strong they are.

                            Not the free set you get from joining the NRA/AAA. You need some good lenses to see even rings.

                            (I just don't want the guy to be disappointed)

                              No, not the rings, but rather the 4 major moons is what I meant.
