Can you send a link with customary units?
I checked this one: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120414.html Titan's diameter is in km. I wouldn't mind to write a comment to apod site with an example on hand. Thank you, John Altounji One size does not fit all. Social promotion ruined Education.

I am asking them to simplify things. Maybe others will do the same, but check out their website first. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/lib/aptree.html HARRY WYETH -------- Original Message -------- Subject: APOD suggestion Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:55:13 -0700 From: Harry Wyeth <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> To: [email protected] I love your APOD site. You have absolutely wonderful photographs! My suggestion: Let's ditch the old English miles and feet and stick to metric in describing elevations, distances, and all the rest. This observer would like to get rid of the U.S. so-called "customary" measurements, and you could do your part. Thanks. HARRY WYETH Grass Valley, CA
