400au, surely the sun is kinda obvious


Doubt it. PLuto itself is at aphelion about 49AU from the Sun, and at that distance only looks a little bigger and brighter than Venus from us at closest approach to Earth! Still, I haven't seen the episode in question... artistic licenses and all that!

And that 400au is only the error I'm putting in thanks to my TV resolution :-)

Cheers John, I'll keep an open mind. ;) Now, if they do it to Buck Rogers I won't be too happy! I don't think you'd get a decent Twiki volunteer be available freezing their ball bearings off...

Good old fashioned 1970's felgercarb!


oh dear god, please don't tell me they find earth back in the 1970s again, BSG1980 was a disaster, between the ridiculous bikes and the idiot scout troop, it was barely watchable.
