How do the rest of you handle the large-scale thinking necessary for most subjects that fall under the field of astronomy? By this, I mean mentally "zooming out" and attempting to see the big picture -- particularly when it comes to objects that are constantly moving in cycles in space -- like the orbits of our fartherest planets (and after today, dwarf planets )? I've been interested in astronomy ever since I was a boy, but my mind is NOT one that handles mathematics well. When scientists reveal that they've found something simply by studying inconsistencies in orbits, I'm as amazed by this as the Aztecs were by Cortez' horses. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life." - <strong>Rachel Carson</strong></em> </div>
