>>the back side and there's nothing there - just 2x4 scaffolding.<< It can't be true, gotta be at least 4x8! I knew it, I knew it, I always felt some full moons were much brighter than others. Now I know for fact that perigee and apogee are the reason. Now I also know the reason why moon's navel is always on the bottom left <g> Thanks for the link, learned something new everyday, that makes life worth living. Too bad next perigee, July 1, 2000, is not the full moon... What did you major? You seem to know a lot about our little universe... take care, Web
