Good news! Comet group discovered.
« on: February 10, 2004, 06:48:04 am »


Amazing! Six comets here. The one on the right is Otiga Minor, since he helped me find a spot where I could see six, and the group is the Corbonid meteor shower, because I discovered it. It\'s about time I contributed something to the community...

I don\'t understand something.

\"The one on the right is Otiga Minor, since he helped me find a spot where I could see six...\"

If he showed you where you can see the six, how can you say you \"discovered\" them? Unless I\'m misinterpreting something.

I\'m still the one that actually discovered that bug and showed it to Explorers :|
edit: and the one on right is called \"Haven\" so you can\'t really name it...
btw: here are all 8 comets:

Yup, Draklar I think was the first to discover them all that time ago. :) It\'s a shame when somebody thinks they\'ve discovered something, only to find... they were too late. :D

I found the area for this group of comets, but I only saw four at once, otiga backed up and then he could see six...

I knew there were comets all along, just didn\'t know they could be sighted from so many places. However, my record of six wasn\'t very longstanding. :(

This is, like, the fourth time I have discovered something to find out I was too late as it is... under the library stairs, under the tower, under the world (fell out of the dome :P)... sigh... Ah well, at least me and Hevrah are some of the only people that have been under the warehouse stairs, IIRC

Wow, I never noticed those; cool!!

(Although I hardly ever looked up.......)

Hmm, I might start playing again to just see them. I bet they are rare; eh?

Happened that way with my first wife; her daddy was a wealthy industrialist who left her a lotta money.
But, her previous husband had cleaned her out long before I came along.
