I confess I plagiarized it but it seemed to good to pass up.
there are no new jokes..just infinite variations on the basic 10 or 20 :D
Now..who wants to move it up a notch and calculate how deep one has to sink before landing..er..floating..in an 'average' ship? Now that we know melting and vaporizing isn't a problem at night that is. :)
Why does most of the literature claim Iron 56 is the most tightly bound nucleus when Nickel 62 has higher binding energy per nucleon?
Your quite right, Nickel is. For possible reasons as to why there's a lot more Iron about than Nickel try here. A cracking good site all round. I guess we need to explain it's stability in the circumstances that it was originallly produced, of which binding energy per nucleon is one factor.
(edit) .... and let's not forget our fellow Solarsystemarians who are sitting on the Moon wondering why (a) The Earth is the right size to occult them occasionally AND (b) we haven't come back to see them, as we left when they were just about to answer the door last time....

What do you all make of the Iapetus pictures that have come back recently? The mountain range on its equator looks much like two half spheres pressed together.
I am old enhough to remember when the first image was Iapetus came back from Voyager. We didn't have Star Wars back then but we were just as wow'ed. It almost seems like George borrowed the picture.
It is generally thought that Iapetus was impacted by something big a long while back. If the impact had beem much bigger it probabley would have fragmented the moon entirely. There is another moon (can't seem to find the name) I beleive of Jupiter that is thought to have suffered that fate. It looks like it was torn apart and put back together inside out.

Heres the link of the theory that Im questioning:

Since Im just a farm boy from Indiana Im relying on those of you smarter than myself to help make heads or tails of this.
I love the picture that makes Iapetus look like the Deathstar

Are you thinking of Uranus' moon Miranda?
For pictures: Miranda
One other thing. Star Wars came out in '77. Voyager one reached the Saturnian system in '80.
