While scanning this morning early I ran across a show with a gentleman
discussing the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. "Cool" I thought.
Being an novice amateur astronomer I was excited to hear a show that
discussed such things on SW.

As it turns out, it was a religious station and the "gentleman" was
presenting evidence that the two moons are actually NOT orbiting Mars
any longer. They are now orbiting Earth. As a matter of fact they are
indeed two of the seven trumpets presented in Revelations that herald
the second coming of Christ. He has also miraculously calculated the
actual ratio of people-time to God-time. It appears that every 4.7 days
to us is actually one second to God and based on the biblical account in
Revelations it is clear that we only have a few "seconds" left to get
our affairs in order.

I used to think that radio stations that carried these kooks should be
shut down but since my love affair with SW I have changed my opinion.
It is incredibly interesting to hear the level of diversity out there.
I love to hear this stuff. Anyone want to share your finds like this?

Who were you listening to, and what frequency?

What kind of evidence did he present?

Might be fun to bring info on this to my Astronomical Society.

I was listening at approximately 0630 Central time (1230 UTC). I logged
the freq but I don't have the book with me right now. I'll post it
tonight after I get home. I do know that I heard what I think to be
"Christian Broadcasting..." something. It was very strong. Kentucky
perhaps.

His evidence was a bunch of "according to reliable sources" types of
things. I suspect he subscribes to various conspiracy theory
organizations and basically believes whatever he hears. He quoted the
bible (Revelations primarily) but ultimately he wrapped up the show with
a statement to the effect of "*I* believe these moons are actually
orbiting Earth....".

I intend to let my Astro Society know as well. We have several SW
listeners. I'll try to post more tonight.

That's news to the astronomical community. Especially since the two
moons of Mars can still be seen orbiting the planet. One of the Mars
landers (Opportunity) recently observed both moons eclipsing the sun.
What you heard is just another example of certain religious 'kooks' on
shortwave. What scares me is they may actually believe stuff like this.

That's why we sent those little rovers to Mars: to try to find out where its
moons went.

I used to be happy playing around with "What's that in *DOG* years?"
Thanks for adding another needless level of complexity to my life.

Sure, where was this advice BEFORE I wrote my thesis?
