What Earth would look like with rings like Saturn:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoz5Q2rGQtQSimply amazing.. but we still have a wonder: total eclipse.
So you dont have to envy Saturnians..
(And since total eclipse is a rare event, it is affecting our imagination much more.
Having rings would be nice, but total eclipse is a more arcane something..)
CIA laser listener:
The problem with Discovery channel is, that most of the time it's entertaining, but if it is about your field, sometimes it sounds ridiculous. So, if it's entertaining: maybe you don't understand something. It has to be popular, so they are colouring stories.
A friend of mine from the field of biology told me, that the pictures about oceanic life are really wonderful (even though most of these were shot in aquariums), but often they say misleading sentences about those beautiful fishes. I'm simply enjoying it, but he can tell the mistakes.
(Even worst, if you're watching it dubbed, not in English: once I heard the "those tanks ran on mine" phrase translated with the meaning of "mine" as in "goldmine."
First I did not understand: what? Those tanks were driving on a mine? Then I figured, they said in the dubbed version "goldmine" instead of "landmine." I can't believe no one spotted it at the dubbing studio, but it still has happened.)
So it's good for entertaining, but if you want information: go there and see with your own eyes!
