This scene was too good to resist and was only possible to capture because I had that little camera available for instant use.

So how many full as opposed to empty cards would make a difference of a kilogram?the card full of photos is heavier by 18 pg!
Unfortunately, in this context, the earth behaves as a closed system. The electrons filling the memory cards have simply been moved there from somewhere else by the camera battery. Similarly, people jumping up and down cannot change the orbit. We would have to eject mass from the earth in the way a rocket motor provides thrust. In practice, the earth is probably collecting more mass than it loses, by scooping up various cosmic particles and dust.Jack Harrison wrote:this might be enough to make the planet heavier
I'm not very happy with that picture: it lacks character (eg, scenic backdrop). I have struggled to get decent rainbow pictures ever since I have been here. Throughout the winter months when the sun never gets very high in the sky, rainbows are possible at any time of day (radius of a rainbow is 42 degrees so sun needs to be lower than that). Rainbows in the summer half of the year are morning and evening only....rainbow over Craignure...
