    Pardon (ahem...) the non-satellite discussion here, but I looked at Venus
    about 8.5 days ago in the telescope at low power.  It was an astoundingly
    beautiful crescent!
    
    If you have a telescope, take a look!
    
    BTW, Mars is coming to opposition early this summer (or winter for
    Southern hemisphere viewers).  Biggest in telescopes in many years.  Take
    a look.
    
    O.K., now we can get back to satellites....
    
    (although, technicallly, Venus and Mars are satellites of the sun....)	;
