drkstrong - Thank you so much. I have never seen such beauty in the sun before. The combination of such beautiful music helps to see how amazingly gorgeous these natural occurrences are. My gratitude!

[drkstrong]

@KathleenMG1 You are welcome!

[Blazenresearcher]

I liked that little quiz, 2010-01-02 and 2012- 21-02...

[drkstrong]

@Blazenresearcher Ding! :) Buzz! :(

You fell into the US trap - I used the international date sytem YYYY-MM-DD there arent 21 months in the year!

[HonestJohn60]

Wishing you the best on your papers!! - If they get published anywhere on the net please let us know the links!

Peace Out

[drkstrong]

@HonestJohn60 I am hoping the journal will allow it to be posted on their website

[drkstrong]

@Mkey29 Yes, this will be fun

[drkstrong]

@Valthepixie You also used the US date system not the scientifc one and omitted the Century.

@Skyywatcher88 Still might but just prodiced the X

@collapseprep101 An interesting question which is hard to answer in 400 characters. Ok push your fist into a soft matress & keep up the pressure. That forms a depression. Imagine that is the Earth's gravitational well. Now punch your other fist into the same matress nearby but not quite so hard, thats the moon. The depth of the depression represent the gravitational pull. Where the 2 depressions intersect the depression is deeper so water will be pulled towards it hence tides.
