[Geysers] Mysterious snow shapes

[SCOTT BRYAN]

Our moderator must be bored, too!/ But I must counter Allan's conjection (repeated below) by noting that he clearly failed to consider the gravitational perturbations of Amalthea , Vesta, and Antimercury.

  Scott,

  Are you perhaps referring to the geysers on Enceladus? ( Video at http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/saturn/moons/enceladus_geysers_video.html<http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/saturn/moons/enceladus_geysers_video.html> )

  Preliminary calculations (back of the envelop type, done without the envelop) indicate that ejecta miss the earth by several astronomical units.

  I think a better explanation was that they were rolled up by lost polar bears.
