Hi Barry,

Hey......really......I don't make this stuff up. Couldn't if I wanted to, as 
I haven't the imagination. 

Want even more? Try this one. How big is Enceladus, as seen from Earth? Take 
your average marble. Drive it 24 miles away. Now go back home and look for it 
in your telescope. Yep. That's the true size of Enceladus seen from 750 
million miles away. Yet we can still see this little guy in the 16" scope at 
FDO!

:o)
Doug
