Yeah, but they just talk about unicorns. Oops, I didn't mean to end the thread. I like to talk about things that actually could be...

In Hamilton we like our puns, and our Timmy's Coffee. This downtown puddle has persisted across several years and has become...

That's one of ours here in Hammtown! We had a plow naming contest a few years ago. Many entries are Hammtown references. Chillin'...

Maybe they like living inside things. The reasons are myriad. Maybe they aren't planning a trip. Both of the above require insight...

Bah. Way too complex to do by-hand. I barely got three months done, and month-by-month is still not granular enough. Gave up half way...

The article talks a lot, but gets into some numbers down near the end. It's a pity that after all that business about "could it be...

Oof. I am becoming skeptical that a hand-drawn illustration will capture the details - I would have to intuit what dimensions can be...

OK, I am hoping that you will intuit that, for a given speed, a shorter time spent in retrograde would result in a smaller observed...

Yes, you did mention that. Altough surely the magnitude is affected by the relative velocities because they affect when, in their...

Are you accounting for Earth's peri/aphelion at the times of opposition? (green arrows in diagram) For example, if Earth happens to be...
