Hola Rob, Wouldn't that be <= 2/3's (gibbous) phase = about 66% illumination, and a maximum average sky angle of a comfortable,high 60 degrees max observed angle (+/- the "oscillation") ... checking they're equilateral triangles, though intuition might be wrong? Saludos, Doug

It would be an interesting exercise to compute the maximum size an Earth Trojan could be and still have managed to go undetected. --Rob ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
