PS sorry I haven't been on much as of recent months days years. Nor responding much on posts. I have so many irons in the fire that I don't know which one to pull out first. But I will be making a big decision soon.😎

I nominate Jeremy.

Please don't let me scare you away like I did everybody else. I'm just pathetic and unable to grasp the ramifications of my stupidity.

Nah. You isn't nowhere scary as when we begin to realize just how small we really are, as Mike Pinder said he feels😁

In order to make way plane to you I must refer you too many truths or facts that are already known and taught. In the solar system the sun is the Grand Center with a diameter of 860000 Mi volume, 1300000 times greater than the earth. The planet nearest the sun is mercury with a diameter of 2960 Mi, distance from the Sun, 36 million miles, it revolves around the Sun in 87 days. Venus comes next for the diameter of 78 100 miles, rotates and one year at a distance of 92000870 miles from the Sun next Beyond this is Mars, 4500 miles in diameter, 139 million miles from the Sun, revolves in its orbit in one year and 10 months. The next planet is Jupiter 89000 miles in diameter 476 Million Miles Away From the Sun its revolution is 12 years. Then come Saturn with a diameter of 79000 miles at a distance from the Sun of 872 million miles. Revolves in 29 years the next in order is Uranus 35,000 miles in diameter, 1754000000 miles from the Sun revolves in 84 years and then, Neptune at a distance from the Sun of 2746000000 miles. And far beyond Neptune is still another planet, the newly discovered Pluto, so distant that it can only be seen with the Aid of a large telescope. Our son is the center of this wonderful system of planets or world's. His Royal arm spin Safari planet Mercury around him at the terrific rate of 29 miles per second, bear Venus at 22 miles per second, your lovely Earth at the rate of 18 miles per second, Beautiful Mars at 14 miles per second, the asteroids at 11, the giant Jupiter at 8, wonderful Saturn at 5, Uranus at 4 and nephew Neptune at 3 miles per second. From Neptune the sun would appear as a small star. Your solar system, vast and stupendous as it is, is put a small bear compared to what is beyond its boundaries. By the 8th of the telescope, 18 million suns have been discovered in the Milky Way, each as large and some much larger than your own. Each Star as seen from your Earth, is a son, the center of a system as vast or greater than your own, separated from each other in comprehensible distances and all these at such a pollen Lee remote distances from you that they appear all run together like a thin fleecy cloud.

Science believes that has measured the speed of light in a bag humat 186,000 miles a second. In astronomy marbles accuracy has been attained in measurements, measurements so exact that they could be compared to a man measuring the angle made by the opposite size of a human hair over a mile and a half away. Measuring an angle so small as this requires the greatest care. This angle is what is called The Parallax of a star. At the most, The Parallax of a star is 3/4 of a second of an arc. One second is 136 hundredth of a degree. If you were to look for a penny 3 1/4 miles away it cannot be seen But the angle from one edge of that Penny to your eye and back to the other Edge would be one second of Arc. An astronomer considers at fairly easy to measure. He can readily detect a parallax of a hundredth of a second of Arc. A Star Wars shows a parallax of one second of Arc would be distant from us by 200000 times the distance of the sun from the earth. You can see by this that the use of the term miles is rather absurd for such distances so there are two Chief units and use for Star measurement, the parsec and the light year. A parsec is the distance at which a star shows a parallax of a second of Arc. A light year is the distance which light in a vacuum travels in a year at the rate of 186,000 miles a second. Therefore, one light year equals 5 trillion 880 billion miles. One parsec equals 19 trillion 150 billion miles. If the Earth's orbit were only the size of a dime, a person it would be one mile and 1100 yards in diameter. On this scale the Earth itself could be seen only by the aid of a good microscope.

This gigantic collection of stars in the Milky Way is probably about 75,000 parsec in diameter. Within this mess are many minor but still enormous clusters of stars and also a number of nebulae hazy masses of gas. The stars appear on the whole to be screaming around the center of the Galaxy. The whole mass of the Galaxy, 75000 parsec in diameter, is rotating on itself once in every 250 million years. Even this slow rotation means a very great speed for the outer Stars, as much as 150 miles per second. The edges of the Galaxy are some 30 or 40 thousand parsecs from us. The top and bottom of it are far nearer, probably about 6 or 8000 parsecs. There are a number of nebulae in the sky, I wish the great nebula Andromeda is an example which, under great magnification, it seem not to be hazy clouds but to consist of myriads of stars. The Andromeda nebula is no less than 270000 parsecs, nearly a million light-years away. It is a gigantic object, it occupies nearly three degrees of the sky and is, therefore, about 15,000 parsecs in diameter. It's enormous size makes it clear that it is a Galaxy like our own, though smaller. The Andromeda nebula is, then, a vast Island universe out all by a huge tract of space from ours.

The foregoing posts content was recited into a microphone from Mayan revelation lesson number 47, (that rest in my possession and was copywrite in 1941 so no doubt there have been many updates to the flow of this information), on this phone in order to expedite to Leslie something to read and entertain herself with. She's not stupid by any means, she's just bored. And I emergency dispatched this information to Aid her in alleviating that problem.😀

Please pardon the voice typos, and try to cope until I can maybe perhaps possibly go back and manually correct, if I do. 😉

Jeremy's nomination is recognized,therefore.😎

What do you want me to do about it?

I want you to SING, dammit !
