I am sick of the incorrectness of the "northerners" so i sent an email outlining it


From: David Hough [mailto:------------------]

Subject: comet misinformation
Importance: High

“We've seen these two before. They're the biggest fragments of 73P/Schwassmann Wachmann 3, the famous crumbling comet that passed by Earth in mid-May. Soon after the flyby, comet 73P disppeared into the glare of the sun. Now it's emerging again in southern skies--ideally placed for observers in Australia and New Zealand. “
Dr Tony Phillips,

Please correct the misinformation here. Just because the northern Hemisphere loses sight of something doesn’t mean it has been lost forever. We have never lost sight of this comet and have been observing it for a long time as per this thread http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=8374&highlight=comet .

Please do not think us southerners are ignorant beasts that do not understand the ways of the universe but we complement it!

You have published many images from us Aussies on Spaceweather and continue to do so I hope despite this email! I personally think that if the site is a global entity that is should resemble that, not with “Now its emerging…..” we have been viewing this comet for a while, please correct your website!

that's right:P support me all the way eh:rofl:

well I hate it when the language challenged northern hemisphere dweller from a continent country thinks the world finished at the border. Time for the Aussie World Police to step in and fight the just cause, stand for the underdog, and hope they dont really get mad and not post anymore images from us:D :P
