Germany vs. Brazil. This will indeed be very interesting whatever the outcome.

Boys from Brazil on both sides, then?

I'm not too bothered about the match, I have gin to drink. 
|
|
|
|
|
I fail to see why one should exclude the other.
|
|
|
|
|
Jeez, I've just checked the score line...
|
|
|
|
|
The last four scores were within six minutes. 
That's the thing with the Germans, when the Italians are in the lead they go on the defence. When the Germans are in the lead the put in the next gear. This is real fun to watch.

I DON'T THINK SO!!!!
I'd rather be phishing!

Are you telling me that it isn't an interesting match so far?
It's beyond all expectations.

Iridescent Clouds over Thamserku [^]

Cool indeed!

Hmmm: "quickly become...too far from the Sun" ???
93 million miles (150 million kilometers) +/- a couple thousand feet...
Yeah, that makes all the difference. 
I'm guessing this probably should be: "too far from the observer"
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

I believe they're talking about angular separation. Among other things the description implies that the sunlight has to be passing through at exactly the right angle. That's a factor of the angular separation between them as measured by the observer.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Quite possibly.
In that case, they should explain it correctly!
After all: "...along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer." (emphasis mine)
So instead of "too far from the Sun" how about "no longer aligned between the Sun and the observer to be visible"?
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

Because a professional astronomer writing for the general public shouldn't be a tiresome pedant?
