This is the best planet X photo I have seen!!!

This one has to be real! There is no other explanation. See for yourself!

Hmm... cannot get the page to show. I'll try again later ;)

So where do I go to get my money back?

Now that we are innundated with so many "px pics" I can't help but find it all very hysterical.

PX not only moves at an incredible rate of speed, defying all sorts of physics, it swerves worse than a drunk behind the wheel.
Every single px pic I have seen so far has that clinker of a figment planet in a different part of the sky.

How does Nancy account for that? Are the Niburians drunk?
Who's driving the bus?

:lol: Ha! :lol:

A five minute exposure, locked onto a planet moving faster than anything else in the solar system...yet...all the stars are perfect, no trails. Ever seen a picture of a comet against a background of stars? (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0211/temptut_puckett_big.jpg) Yup, you guessed it, in order to focus on the comet, the stars get left behind and streak.

I want my money back too. Next contestant.

I was going to post a photo challenging your statement, but then you're right that Planet X is supposed to be whizzing into the inner solar system, faster than Newton would have it going. A Newtonian object at that distance wouldn't necessarily be accompanied by star trails, as this majorly cool photo demonstrates. (http://encke.jpl.nasa.gov/images/01RX14/01RX14_021214_aa1.jpg),

So where do I go to get my money back?

Hmm, the site was free. I don't think we can. But, if you figure it out, let me know.

[AstroCreep]

OH shucks! You guys figured it out!
I'm the one who made the page and the picture. I was bored today! oh well. check out the hard to read print at the bottom of the page. I'm kind of hoping that it will end up on Nancy's Page. Also about the money back thing...the asterick on that statement should have made your spider sense tingle. the little disclaimer at the bottom explains it.

You have to give me credit though, I think it looks better than the "Real" pictures on the zetatalk site.

[Mark Skarr]

I guess. On the otherhand, you didn't charge us for the page so I guess we can't complain too much about not getting our money back.

* This photo is 100% real pixels displayed on your computer monitor. the contents of the picture have been enhanced in the adobe photoshop program. The only portion of the picture to be enhanced is the portion containing the red streak. The original undoctored photo can be seen as one of the astronomy pictures of the day. As a hint the enhanced red blob is otherwise known as Vesta. Have fun kiddies and don't believe everything you see, especially not on the internet.

Nice disclaimer, I should have been more attentive.

Unless it was coming DIRECTLY at you, right? :D
