Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Mars, Regulus, and Saturn

Look directly west, fairly low in the sky. There are 3 stars/planets in a string. The first of the string is Mars (you can use binocs; it is reddish orange) To it's left, and slightly higher, is Regulus. Go the same direction and distance further and you get Saturn.

Dang! Cloudy!

Space Angel,

I used my cheap telescope on my cheap tripod and can confirm your sightings. If we get another confirmation, who knows?

I think Brettski's been listening to Wings' "Venus and Mars/Rock Show" again.

Ssshhh...don't tell Burger, but tonight we use our binocs to examine the 7th planet from the sun. Man, I hope it's warm with a breeze and all the windows are open.

Regulus? Never heard of it. Is that the star named after the God of irregularity?

Then there is the star constipatus.

Wouldn't they be closer to Uranus.

Come on, someone had to say it. LOL

Brettski, get your head out of Ur...oh, never mind.
I posted last night, but I had some remorse afterward and deleted. Not so now......the pointy hat please. I will share with Walker.

Only when Uranus is in conjuction with regulus or constipatus.

Regula is where Stage 2 of the Genesis Project is conducted and where Space Station Regula 1 orbits. Space Station Regula 1 is the space facility that the Genesis Device was developed and tested. Spock describes Regula as a, "great rock in space". The planetoid is devoid of any life. Stage 2 of the Genesis Project calls for the Genesis matrix to be placed in a cavern. The Starfleet corp of engineers mined out a cavern deep underneath the surface of Regula just to perform Stage 2. When Captain Kirk and his landing party find no one aboard Space Station Regula 1 they notice the coordinates on the stations transporter system as being deep inside Regula. Remembering that Stage 2 must be conducted in a cavern, Kirk decides to beam down to the coordinates to see if he can find any survivors from Space Station Regula 1.


What?.... Regulus not Regula... Oh... never mind.

they're baaack
Mars is closing in a little on Regulus, but the string is pretty much the same.

next week, we feature the Milky Way

Sullpond, Regulus, Regula...whatever. A captivating cavern chronicle.

I prefer the Snickers, but I can see what with food allergies being so prevalent today, you might want to avoid any potential problems with the peanuts.

I was on a flight (Southwest) and they had just completed distribution of peanuts and various refreshements when the flight attendants all started scurrying down the aisle, re-collecting all the peanuts like they were gonna bring the jet down. After virtually snatching the tipped bags away from the mouths of hungry peanut patrons, they announced on the P.A. that someone on board has a peanut allergy. Dang it; I want my peanuts!

And the person with the peanut allergy DOESN"T know who they are?

It's been so overcast here (June Gloom as the local weather folks call it) that I can't even see the sky let alone Uranus (thank the lord for small favors).

Which reminds me, growing up in the city I've gotten fairly use to smoggy air, particularily when I lived more inland. I travel up to the ranch and the air is crystal clear and pure. It makes me nervous - - I don't trust air I can't see, sneaking around all the time, it's hard to tell what it's up to.

That's all for now from the peanut gallery.

(eagerly awaiting a Theo rim shot).

Would you like it on even or odd days? And I apologize in advance if I stretch it out. I have a large head LOL

re; peanuts or the 7th planet from the sun?

I'll have you gentlemen know that I am a founding member of the International Committee to End 7th Planet Jokes. We are trying to change it's official name from "Uranus" to "Urectum".

Urectum, Dang near killed him.

I know old joke, I'll go back to the corner now and see if ski is done with the hat.

That makes me laugh everytime I hear it.

Theo is quoting Futurama again.
