::: The question that sprung to my mind was, ''which'' distance is he using for the planets and asteroids, since those vary hugely depending on where objects are relative to each other along their orbits. Is he going with closest approach, maybe? Or the distance that we happen to be at just this instant? --[[User:Rmharman|Rmharman]] ([[User talk:Rmharman|talk]]) 21:42, 11 October 2013 (UTC) | ::: The question that sprung to my mind was, ''which'' distance is he using for the planets and asteroids, since those vary hugely depending on where objects are relative to each other along their orbits.

Does someone know how to use LaTeX formulas? And if so, can they translate my formula into something more pleasing to the eye?

Neither the sun or moon, nor Messier 25 (declination -19°) can ever culminate in the zenith over London. :-( Admittedly, Townsville, Australia would be sort of overwhelmed by M25. --[[Special:Contributions/129.13.72.198|129.13.72.198]] 11:27, 11 October 2013 (UTC) | Neither the sun or moon, nor Messier 25 (declination -19°) can ever culminate in the zenith over London. :-( Admittedly, Townsville, Australia would be sort of overwhelmed by M25. --[[Special:Contributions/129.13.72.198|129.13.72.198]] 11:27, 11 October 2013 (UTC) | ||
: M25 is a reference to the highway that surrounds London, not the Messier object, which is probably nowhere near the angular size of the moon.

Does anyone know why the exoplanet "HD 189733 b" is labled as "Permadeath" ? Same question for the other weird names in the same pannel (the "tilde on keyboard" one) ?
