Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>So these beams rotate to keep aligned with the planets as they orbit ... Hows that work ? Also pretty amazing the Sun would send out a beam to keep aligned with the SOHO satellite. Also pretty kewl how the Sun sends out beams to light up the various orbitting comets and asteroids so we can see them. Remind me to send the Sun a thank you note for being so attentive to our observational needs. K, buy bye. <br />Posted by Mee_n_Mac</DIV><br /><br />It's even better than you suggested. Not only was one beam aligned with the earth and the L1 point that contains SOHO,ACE,HINODE, etc, but another one tracked Ulysses on it's orbit over the poles of the sun. What an amazing feat!! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John. Monsters.
