Astronomy misinformation – what to do?

[Dennis]

A friend e-mailed me with the following link:

http://infinitewell.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/jupiter-impact-confirmed/

which is to a website that discusses Anthony Wesley’s Jupiter impact capture. But, the author then proceeds to claim and show a Jupiter animation ascribed to me claiming that my AVI shows the Wesley impact.

The animation does look familiar but if it is one of mine, it belongs to my ToUcam era around 2005 / 2006, well before Anthony’s discovery.

What ever happened to systematic research and cross checking….?:(

Cross referencing is a skill that requires more than 3 brain cells :(

Think yourself lucky. At least you weren't credited with proving that the impact was actually an alien spacecraft landing. Nor did you image Nibiru. :lol:

Whoops – time to eat humble pie…:):rolleyes::whistle::ashamed:

The animation was created and posted by me and it is of the Wesley impactor. I just found the post on Ice In Space, although the http link to the animation does not work as IIS no longer has that ftp file location available.

Lucky I can still cross reference!;)

All is well.:)
