~~~~~ God gives Peace not war + "Conan Ford" wrote in message .159... Anyone remember what propagation was like on 27 December? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4278005.stm Huge 'star-quake' rocks Milky Way Astronomers say they have been stunned by the amount of energy released in a star explosion on the far side of our galaxy, 50,000 light-years away. The flash of radiation on 27 December was so powerful that it bounced off the Moon and lit up the Earth's atmosphere. .......
