However, you're explanation is completely wrong. Light travels at basically the same speed through the atmosphere and the eye isn't sensitive enough to detect the time change in light arriving from objects at different distances. The eye only responds to changes longer than 1/30th sec (or something like that). -- ------------------------------------------------------ Mike Fitzpatrick {ihnp4,noao,ctvax}!ut-sally!utastro!fitz (USENET) utastro!fitz@ut-ngp (ARPANET)
