Fred wrote, about his suggestion that we might add some further detail about the clearing process, and my suggestion that he should go ahead and do so. | I'm not qualified. What I've said already pretty much encompasses my | knowledge of the subject. But thanks for the invitation. Although Fred's suggestion has merit, and could create a section that's interesting (to those that are interested in such matters), I'm not persuaded enough to get involved with that myself: not at present, anyway. So unless someone else can be persuaded to pick it up and run with it, it will have to lie there for now. I have another question, to which Renee may know the answer. I see that sometimes in Wikipedia there can be an explanatory diagram. I happen to have such a diagram, which seems to fill the bill, for lunar distances, rather well. It was created for me by my friend and near-neighbour, list member Clive Sutherland, who is rather a dab hand with such matters. It was made for another purpose, to illustrate an article in Navigation News, but I could ask his permission for it to be used in Wikipedia also. He is away at present. Would cobbling-in such a picture come within Renee's considerable talents?
