As I grow as a practitioner and pagan it is astounding to literally see my practices evolve and delve deeper becoming less of practice and more of a natural religion. One place I find this most prevalent is in my altar and shrine set up. For most of us, we began our journey at the path that had the greatest wealth of information: Wicca. I typically shy away from judging the faith of others but, while the idea of a universal god and goddess was appealing, I always found myself reverting back to the ancient gods of Hellas. For years I set up my altar, god side, goddess side, pentagram in the middle and so on. This worked for a time but it felt more like a table with pretty things than a great altar to the gods. After about 4 years as a Wiccan and then 3 years unidentifiable pagan I heard the call of Hekate, a divinity I knew little about and had no interest in. She was the goddess who first forced me to recognize a specific deity by name and practice and forsake the idea She was just a mirror on some divine goddess disco ball. After this experience She took center stage and the transition started to take place, little by little.
At that point, most of my worship was conflicted and while I never had any problems with the craft, the religion part always felt as if something didn't fit or, rather, I was struggling to make sense of my new goddess and the nameless gods I was use to. I was torn between my old ways of doing things, the Wiccan ways, and the ways a real and physical goddess was telling me to practice. Before long I found myself only praying to Her and not the "Lord and Lady" and confined them only to worship on the Wiccan Sabbaths. I then set up a shrine for Pan, and again, started to see Him as separate from the Horned God I use to know. For the next three years I left this set up. Goddess of the left, Hekate in the middle, Horned God on the right, and Pan on the floor. This somewhat satiated my viewpoint but still, something was missing. While my communication with Pan and Hekate was growing, my need for these nameless gods was waning and their purpose was almost exclusively nostalgic.
It was when my partner, Docteur Caeli D'Anto, began to have visions of Hekate in Her most ancestral form that I knew I could be so much more, and get much more from my faith. I decided, with his help that things needed to change. The god and goddess of Wicca had to be removed from the top of the altar! While I do still believe there is a grand Creator, male and female, my view on them is that they are far too large and far too distant to hear our prayers. That is why for thousands of years man spoke to the many gods right here in our own world. For evidence of this one must simply think on the idea of the Universe. The entire expand of space and time. While we cannot hope to explain the supernatural with the laws of the natural, the idea that the grand creators, the Lord and Lady, are swirling through the cosmos in the grand dance of Creation, yet somehow accessible to us, here on this tiny spec of the whole of what they began. My thought process began to manifest the gods, not as energies or thought forms but as physical beings and this concept that they can be bothered or interrupted from such a profound thing as Creation seemed unimaginable to me. That is when I realized my faith, my religion, was lost trying to connect with them. So I moved them to the bottom shelf of the altar and recognized their place in my history where they assumed my presumption that they were honored for the sake of leading me here, and of course Creation itself. Hekate then received the whole of the altar and it literally went from shrine to temple. The energy was no longer blocked and the connection I feel to Her became indescribable, I could feel Her everywhere! I could hear Her whispers! As a result, this lead me to a greater understanding of Pan and shortly after I had my first lucid encounter with Him. I have since started to honor them based solely on their traditional worship and instinct. Before, I was well versed on how to, I just made exceptions to accommodate my prior way of doing things. I removed the pentagram from my practice along with the Wiccan Lord and Lady and even began to offer wine in, not modern fluted wine glasses or gothic goblets, but traditional kylix, offering bowls, which were gifted by the good Docteur. I have always offered traditionally as far as dishes scattered around the gods as an almost feast, something that is very traditional in Helenic practice and would always casually give them fruit, bread, honey, milk and coins not for favor but as worship and symbols of devotion. Along with my hand blended incenses which I reserve for ritual, I now burn traditional resins like frankincense, and benzoin which is a traditional incense to chthonic gods. I also forced myself to find an adequate triple crossroad to offer to Hekate and the wandering dead, something I did not do frequently in the past. Before the altar of Pan, I keep an oil lamp burning and offer both fresh olive oil and fragrant essential oils traditionally used in Hellas. This is no longer my path, it is my religion. My altar is no longer simply an altar, it is my temple and now it feels like one.
In relinquishing the confines of modern new age practices I find that I now view my faith as something more than I had before. While this post may seem as though it is merely about the decor of an altar, it is far more. It is about the fact that many of us have lost the will to preserve the authentic practices of our gods. In finding and reviving these practices, the connection to the gods grows from a trickling stream to a torrential river. We must always remember the gods are very real, just as real as you or I. To build a lasting, powerful relationship to the gods we must give them what they have preferred for thousands of years before we interjected our need to make them socially acceptable to an Abrahamic, monotheistic society. If we hope to truly revive the gods we must do so by reviving their most ancient and powerful of practices. I discovered the true power of this and I can attest that it is life changing!
We all have our histories. Regardless if we liked them, found them particularly profound, or suppress them to only memory, the fact remains our histories mold us into who we are. There is a trend in the occult community to embellish or fabricate history in an attempt to find a prominent place within the community. The fact remains, we are all who we are because of what really happened in our lives, however great or small. Here is my story of my occult fascination and like most of us, I wasn't particularly impressed with it as I was living it, but now I realize the importance it had on who I am today.
It is important to realize where, exactly, it started and the best I can remember is at that place in the deep woods around the campfire. I was probably around 5 or 6 when my dad and mom were telling the story of a witch who lived in the woods and would kidnap campers as they slept. By the end of the story, almost on queue, a cackle came from the deep woods which terrified my sisters and I. The next day while hiking we stumbled across a peculiar thing, a hay silo, abandoned and overgrown. Of course my dad told us we inadvertently stumbled on the witch's house making his myth a reality to us. This type of thing was not uncommon growing up. We spent most of our summers camping at Alexandria Bay in upstate New York and were always entranced by ghost stories allowing our imaginations to run wild on the hikes and visits to abandoned places like Bolt Castle the following day. Little did my parents know they were developing a fertile imagination into the unexplored in the three of us, my sisters and I.
Coming from a Catholic family, mostly Irish, we were raised very superstitiously. My whole family believes in the supernatural and it seemed at every family gathering the subject of ghosts and demons was always brought up. There were even times phenomena would play out in front of the entirety of the guests. Lights would turn off and on, specters would be seen out of the corner of our eyes and noises would echo from the uninhabited rooms. This caused my sisters and I to begin ghost hunting at an early age. Around 6 or 7 we even tried to look for Hell, more specifically, the Devil himself. The result was digging holes in the yard and foundation of the house, an old mansion that was turned into an inn on the upper floors which was long abandoned creating a perfect habitat for the spirits of the wandering and restless dead, with a blunt ax resulting in getting my finger chopped by my cousin on a wayward swing (in my defense I thought I saw Satan's horn and was merely pointing it out). We also believed there was a demon living in my parents closet which we regularly fed our cereal in order to avoid being eaten.
The greatest leap into the occult came when we moved from Syracuse to Kirkville to a house almost 200 years old surrounded by forest and field. When we moved in it still had it's crumbling walls, tattered curtains and archaic layout. My room was particularly special because, as is the case of most Victorian houses, there was a sick room just beyond it which was accessible by a small wooden latched door. If you don't know what a sick room is, basically it is a room off the main house where they would put sick and dying family members to keep them from contaminating the rest of the family. Shortly after we moved in my sister had her first experience. She was going downstairs and saw a girl sitting on the living room floor. Naturally this was both frightening yet intriguing. We began to play with the Quiji board where we were introduced to Alice. She apparently died in the house and wanted to cross back to this world and was happy to instruct how to do it. The primary thing we needed was a sacrifice. As kids, the concept was obviously foreign and the first spider that we saw, we (more specifically my cousin Jessica) sacrificed to the Infernal gods, namely Alice. I guess this wasn't exactly the sacrifice Alice had in mind and she did not appear as she said she would.
In the following years, it was my mom who sparked the interest in witches! She has always been a Halloween fanatic, as were we because of it. Did she dress us as cute cowboys and princesses? No, we were vampires, witches, and dead cheerleaders. She knew the value of exploring the darker things this time of year. We would watch movies like "The Worst Witch", "Witches" and "Hocus Pocus" no matter the season and stole away pots to bring deep in the woods where we would build crude stick huts and throw ingredients from the forest floor to conjure spirits and spells. We made our own brooms with fallen branches and dead grass. We each had our familiar cat. Mine was a Russian Blue named Dusty, my older sister had a black long hair names Ashely, and my younger sister had a black short hair named Precious. To us, we were witches and the world was full of endless possibilities and forgotten spirits. Little did I know that time spent in the forest building temples in fallen trees and imagining that the trees were saying as they groaned had a huge impact on my practice today.
We knew the forests were special and would often invite and offer to the spirits living within them. We were sure faeries existed and made home in the tree roots. We even mapped out the woods and fields and gave them names and kings. There was a rock I was most fond of. I dedicated it to Pan, God of Forests and, to me at the time, God of Witches. I would always imagine Him sitting on that rock playing lonely songs on His flute at night. I would look out my window in darkness and gaze into the endless field trying to catch a glimpse of Him and concentrate to hear the distant cries of His flute. It was around that time I was learning about the Hellenic Gods and I was hooked on them! My extended family on my fathers side is large and almost fit perfectly with the Greek pantheon! My dad was Zeus, naturally. My grandmother was Rhea and grandfather Kronos (if you knew him you would understand, we called him Grumper instead of Grandpa) Aunt Sherrill was Hestia, Aunt Debbie was Athena, Aunt Gayle was Demeter, Aunt Cindee was Aphrodite, Aunt Robin was Hera, Aunt Jeanie was Artemis, Uncle Willie was Ares, Uncle Sean was Apollo, Uncle Scott was Hephaestus, Uncle Steve was Poseidon. I was missing Hermes but I always figured He was off busy traveling the World Highway. Since I was Herakles (first sign of ego? LOL) my mother was Alcmene. I believed the Hellenic gods were very real (beyond my family tree of course) and I began writing spells invoking Them which I kept in a leather bag along with rings, crystals and marbles. Pan was most certainly my favorite and was the Patron of the forests where I grew up.
I always wrote my own spells out of mere interest or hobby and had numerous books on Greek myth which began to envelop my life. I would project the ancient world over the world I was living in. It made more sense and I thrived in a world that was filled with gods and spirits. It was when I was 11 or 12 that I got my first "real" occult book. It was "Out of the Cauldron" by Bernice Kohn Hunt. In the back of the book is a section on Maleficia and Beneficia, black and white magic from historical accounts, superstition and inquisition, so naturally I tried it. The first spell I ever tried was to turn myself into a cat because i didn't do my homework and the teacher was walking around checking it. My hopes were to turn into a cat and either run away or terrify the classroom into forgetting I didn't do it. Needless to say, it didn't work. From this same book, my cousin and I tried to summon the Devil and numerous Watchers through elaborate rituals which we, in the naivety of our youth, took liberties to omit and substitute things like offerings of rare occult herbs for things we would find in the woods. The next day we lifted the log we kept our book and tools under (in order to hide them from my Catholic dad) to find the entire back section where the spells were missing and almost charred. A summer barbeque shortly after that peaked our interest. While gathered on the back deck just after sundown my aunt noticed something coming from the distant woods. It looked tall and dark and knelt or sat down. My cousins and I ran out to see what it was but the closer we got the more it faded away. Needless to say we never found out what it was and while some witnesses say it must have been a dog, we found it rather curious. At that moment, the darker side of witchcraft and the occult had a hold on me. I wanted to know more and explore the wonders the Underworld held and it was from there my story took a more serious stance on the subject of witchcraft…
This was only the beginning, what lead up to my serious interest. It is unembellished and while most probably won't read it due to its length, it is pivotal to who I became. I found the gates of Hades and was about to enter them. This history is why my later years were almost exclusively occult oriented but I will write that later…

Star Wars West End
July 14, 2011, 01:38:06 PM »
Hello my name is Shane J Lewis and I attended PortCon for the first time last year and had a lot of fun. I have been roleplaying for 9 years and have been a DM/GM or ST in some fashion for the better part of 6 years now. I also help Staff and Run a LARP I play in IRL.
With that being said I am a huge Star Wars fan and own many RPG books for it. So I propose to run a Star Wars West End (D6) version game based in 14 BBY during the Jedi Purge. What I would like to do is run the game every day from around 4pm-8pm time slot and see how well it goes. If I get some good players and it goes well perhaps I will return each year and do it. I am currently working on the setting and making sure everything is ready but I can give you folks a brief Game Description here. My main two questions are;
Would anyone be interested in a SW D6 RpG?
Do I have to be STAFF to run a game?
I saw the staff application and see that I don't know anyone at PortCon to put down for references. So am not sure if you have to be staff in order to be a GM. So please go ahead and look over what I have so far and if you folks would have me I would love to run this game.
Game INFO
Setting and Time-line
It has been 5 years since the fall of the republic and the rise of Emperor Palpatine. As well as the change from Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader. The galaxy is held in a state of Imperial terror and no one is safe from the ever watching eyes of Stormtroopers. Jedi have been branded as wanted criminals and there is a 2000 credit reward for anyone who turns in a light-saber to the Empire. A 50,000 credit bounty is offered for the live capture of any Jedi. It is because of this that a small group has formed the Rebel Alliance on both a Political front and Tactical front. This is the time of the "Jedi Purge". Senator Bail Organa is leading a secret underground resistance with the help of a Jedi Master who was presumed dead, one Mace Windu. Most Jedi have gone into hiding and given up their ways and using the force to survive. Planets are racing to maintain either their independence within the outer rim the only area that is not under Imperial Control. Or begging for Imperial protection and doing the best they can to remain in the good graces of the Empire.
Slavery is running rampant and the Imperial with the exception of Rodians, Verpine, and Duros are outlawing all other races that are not human or near human. The planet Kashyyk is the main slaving compound for the Empire. Wookies are considered to be nothing more then slaves and have been ordered that any free Wookie be killed on sight. A crime lord by the name of "Jabba the Hutt" has built a compound on Tattooiene and along with the Hutt council on Nar Shadda have opened up a criminal smuggling lines and is for some reason kept under Imperial Sovereignty. A famous Bounty Hunter named Bobba Fett has become known as the "The Jedi Hunter" and is known for his expertise in capturing Jedi.
19 BBY - Birth of the Empire
* The Clone Wars end, Count Dooku is killed by Anakin Skywalker during the Battle of Coruscant and General Grievous is destroyed on Utapau. Chancellor Palpatine, revealed to be the Sith Master Darth Sidious, kills Masters Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar and, with Anakin's help, Mace Windu.
* Palpatine reorganizes the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire with himself as Emperor and Anakin Skywalker turns to the dark side of the Force and becomes Darth Vader, Palpatine's ruthless second-in-command and third apprentice.
* The Great Jedi Purge is orchestrated by Sidious and Vader and almost all Jedi are hunted down and killed.
* Darth Vader kills all the Separatist leaders on Mustafar.
* Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa are born to Padmé Amidala on Polis Massa. Padmé Amidala dies in childbirth. Obi-Wan Kenobi, who survives the Purge, leaves Luke with Anakin's step brother Owen Lars and Leia with Bail Organa, in order to protect them from Palpatine and their father.
Mon Mothma and Bail Organa along with other senators loyal to the Galactic Republic, discuss in secret plans for a Rebellion. This eventually leads to the Galactic Civil War.
*Jedi Master Plett turns his fortress in Plawal on Belsavis into a sanctuary for fugitives from the Emperor's Jedi purge.
*Jedi Master Mace Windu with funding from Bail Organa and the help of his Ex Padawan Quinlin Vos establish a secret Jedi Enclace/Military Outpost in the outer rim on a primitive planet Ongar. A planet not yet uncatalogued by Imperial or Freelance Scouts.
*Master Windu finishes training his new Special Operations Rebel Squad called "Twin Sabers" with the help of two Jedi padawans. Mace Windu's health begins to worsen and he feels his life energy slowly draining away. Side effects from Emperor Palpatine's force lightning have left Mace Windu recurring internal injuries.
*Quinlin Vos is captured by Bobba Fett and taken to a secret Imperial Military Compound as per Lord Vader's orders.
*Storm Troopers are now fully replaced with human soldiers and the effects of Kamino cloning is known world wide. Clones are now ordered to be shot on sight and considered highly dangerous. Mental Destabilization is rampant and with the exception of 3% of the Clone population all have gone either crazy or their body deteriorated.
*Han Solo joins the Imperial Navy.

Because I am CRAZY I will let in 6 people for sure and if it draws enough interest and because I have 12 semi pre made character sheets for the event. I will let in 12 people if I get enough. The 2012 PortCon is going to be set up for this game to run as a playtest for me and the players and if people like it I will do it every year and give first dibs to recurring players. But that is getting ahead of myself.
Thanks for the feedback and home all is going well for you folks. Stay foxy and rock on!

I have been working on Characters and Plot for my Campaign and do to various reasons, most being nefarious evil things I plan on doing to the players I am making a maximum of 7 character sheets and will only be allowing 7 people to play. It is essentially for them to take different roles of the "Rebel Special Strike Force Team", so that the game runs smoothly. I was originally going to have 12 sheets avaible but it proved to be a bit much and I know my ability to say no in person is blindsided by my need and want to see everyone happy.
So in a nutshell I will be able to have 7 people playing if they want to play.

"We have two outstanding citizens who have already come to vote," said Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten. "They've done a great job. It allows us in a lower-turnout election like this to make sure all of our procedures and systems are running the way that they should."
You can look at the sample ballot or find your polling place by clicking on this link.
Even if you don't live in Urbana, Hulten said it's a good reminder to register to vote. The general election will be on April 9.

'Fiscal Cliff' Countdown: 4 Days Until The Plunge
By David Welna
Originally published on Fri December 28, 2012 4:48 am

Copied from the LPIDC event thread in the Kiss and Cry forum:
Event schedule (tentative): http://www.lakeplacidskating.com/new...20Schedule.pdf
I assume the coverage will be of the 1980 arena..?
$50 for one event LOL! No thanks!
My recollection, from when Productions East did the video for an adult comp I used to compete at, is that the $20-30 is for just 1 skater (yourself) and if you wanted to whole flight/event, it was about $50. Additional events were extra but not as much as the first event.
So yes, this would seem to be cheaper than that, but your own performance is a bit more valuable to you than others' (plus, you get to watch yourself over and over for as many years as you own the DVD, whereas I imagine the on-demand access time for this event will be limited). And you figure with all the money you spent on lessons, comp fees, dress, etc, $50 isn't that much by comparison.
But when you compare this to other comp webcasts (like Broadmoor Open, not to mention Ice Network), this cost seems a bit high.
Productions East tends to charge more than other video companies, I noticed. Which may be why I don't see them at too many area comps anymore.
Here's an option I was thinking about - If I could find four other people to put up $10 each, I would think we could all share the login, right? Then we could all take advantage of the OnDemand video.

Static/Dynamic typing discussions are uninteresting
People are talking about the RailsConf keynote "What killed Smalltalk?" by Robert Martin. You can watch the keynote talk at blip.tv. Of course, the Smalltalk guys weren't slow to answer the argument, which revolves around the fact that code easily becomes cluttered in Smalltalk programs. The arch-angel that will save this problem with Ruby is, of course, unveiled to be "Test Driven Development" much to the rejoice of the Audience.
Martins presentation is flawless in the sense that he does a really good job at capturing the audience. Another interesting point is that he has no slides, just a stack of paper cards on which the key points of the talk is written. In Academia, this would not have worked for most talks I note. Sooner or later you'll at least need a blackboard to draw up and explain a formulae or similar.
A side argument however is that the dynamically typed languages won over the statically typed languages. It is driven by the observation that Java now has reflection, which must mean it is dynamically typed, right? Unfortunately, this viewpoint is misguided in the sense it lacks delicate detail about the situation at hand. This blog postseeks to remedy the omission.
Static vs. Dynamic typing is uninteresting
Taking the argument as being static versus dynamic typing alone is a moot point. Here is why: suppose we want to embed a Java program in Ruby. This can easily be done, if we choose to ignore the types and strip them out. In fact, any statically typed language can be embedded in the dynamic world by stripping the types away. After all, assembly language is untyped, so compilers will at some point have to eschew the typing information for good in their transformation.
But any dynamically typed language can also trivially be embedded in a language with static type discipline. We invent a new type, lets call it T and then proceed to give everything type T. This is what happens inside the Ruby interpreter written in C. Of course we must then have a way to discriminate the different values of T but this is exactly what low-level operations will do in a dynamically typed language anyway.
Thus we have a way to convert back and forth between the static and dynamic world, so why do we not regard them as equal? We know they are not equal, but in what kind of sense are they not equal? If we convert from Java to Ruby and then back to the static world, everything will have the magic type T. We have lost the Java type information in the process. But this merely states that the conversion is not isomorphic.
If one thinks about it, there is little to be gained by studying the trivial world of dynamic typing: everything would look the same once it has been converted into the dynamic world. If we look at the static world, we obtain a different picture.
Meta-theoretic properties, baby!
Since Ruby would be trivially typable in the statically typed world, the whole debate about static typing versus dynamic typing falls apart. It is uninteresting because the level at which we communicate is too low. What really matters are the properties of the type systems: what kind of guarantee do we have from the type system weighing in favor of complex type systems -- and the hassle of maintaining well-typed programs weighing in favor of trivial type systems.
In Ruby, or Smalltalk, the contents of a value (an object) can be changed without having to retype big parts of the program. This is not always true in Java. It holds when there is a certain subtyping relationship between the objects in question, but it can't be done in general, since there is no "duck typing" available. Reflection in Java adds the magic type T so to speak so we can embed any type in a T and we can project any type out of a T. The latter might incur a runtime-error when done however; this is no different from Ruby where everything might potentially incur runtime errors.
The static type system on the other hand tends to guarantee varying levels of type safety. If the program is well typed (read: passes the type checker), then there will be no type errors at runtime. Since there will be no errors at runtime, we can just strip away type discrimination at runtime as well -- yielding great speedup compared to dynamically typed languages.
The difference is that Java, even with the addition of reflection, still have better meta-theoretic properties than Ruby, though we have added a way to poison the type system safety. This is not at all new to most static type systems out there, which allows coercing types unsafely if you really know what you are doing.
Java is also a fairly simple language from a type-complexity perspective. ML is much further up the scale. And Haskell is even further up, with many more complex concepts in the type system. Most theorem provers rely on even more complex type systems to get their work done. In fact they have type system; so powerful they can, in principle, encode correctness specifications of the program. You do not really need unit tests at that level. But it becomes increasingly harder to write correct programs, so most proponents of static typing settles on something further down the scale.
Also, most advanced languages will infer (deduce) types automatically. For ML it is customary to just specify types at the API-level and omit typing details elsewhere. This brings some of the ease from dynamic typing back into static typing.
Wrapping up
One can't possibly say that "dynamic typing won" when the world is much more complex. In reality one must ask: "What static type system won?"; which is not trivially answerable and subject to individual level of expertise, viewpoint, ideology, religion and what not.
What is clear though should be that the type systems of Java with reflection and Ruby are far from equal. Neither are Java or Haskell for instance. Or Haskell and Coq. Or...
Based on that, I think the view Mr. Martin puts forth is a bit too quick and simplified. I also hope we can move beyond the simple dynamic/static debate which is hardly interesting.
And finally the snide remark: What is interesting is the viewpoint that type systems are chastity belts or impose Bondage & Discipline upon programmers when I have just shown, by trivial conversion, how to embed dynamic features into any statically typed language. You just got the skeleton key to the chastity belt, should you need it!

Not sure the best fit for this topic (Astronomy? Observations? Maybe even a question?)---but Bad Astronomy did have a chapter on seeing stars in the daytime, so...
in my local astronomy club meeting, two members claimed that many times, they have let a child look at Jupiter and its array of moons in their telescopes, only to have them look out at the sky and say, "so, why are the moons going the other way in the scope from what they are in the sky?"
Now, I know children see better than adults, usually, but it still sounded fantastic enough that, though I do not doubt the club members at all, I thought perhaps several children decided to play a prank on the amateur astronomers.
So, I mentioned it to a mathematician who was interested in stargazing since childhood, and he said, "no, it's not a prank. *I* used to be able to see the moons of Jupiter with the naked eye!"
Ok, that is amazing and noteworthy--it seems human beings with good eyes can see Jupiter without the aid of a telescope. I have to admit, it's the glare of Jupiter, not the dimness of the moons, that is the problem with seeing the moons. Children probably have good lenses in their eyes so the glare is not amplified and distorted so much.
That then brings the question--why did we not know of Jupiter's moons before Gallileo? The mathematician and I talked about it for a minute and decided that the children assumed they were stars, nothing was actually recorded, and if they said anything to the adults, the adults didn't find anything worth recording and checking up on at later times.
But still, this can be added to the list of things a society without a telescope could discover (along with Uranus, a few galaxies and globular clusters without knowing what they are exactly, and so on).
Now, the mathematician said, "think anybody could see the rings of Saturn without a telescope?"
My guess would be, no. Even in my 9x63 binoculars, which clearly show the four brightest moons of Jupiter, all I get is a slight elongation of Saturn with no gap between ring and planet. At best, perhaps children thought Saturn egg shaped at one time, I figure.
