Cancer Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Re: The Last Word Microturbulence Though what I think of it is in one of the astronomy talk pages. FWIW, my wikipedia ID is BSVulturis. The last time I did the overhaul thing was cosmic distance ladder ... what was there before was merely hopeless, and that's an important topic (MUCH more so than microturbulence). What I left behind was dry and pedantic but at least it's correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
