Whatchu think I've been tryin' to do!
I wanted to make a seperate topic for Alizee, but it's kinda funnier this way.
Anyway, check this that I posted on a buddy's site:
on the subject of the mysterious '108' - something oddly coincidental I found concerning it. noaa has a specific set of satellites called ARGOS that are "administered under a joint program between NOAA and CNES, France's space agency." the ARGOS satellites have several applications concerning meteorology, oceanography, and wildlife monitoring. among it's duties are monitoring swan's migratory habits and receiving information from arctic buoys. I know, almost seems too easy. through the swan monitoring program I found this site that details the tracking system. "N.O.A.A. satellites orbit every 108 minutes or about 14 times a day. Because of the earth's rotation a transmitter at the equator would be scanned once a day while a transmitter at the pole could be scanned 14 times a day." there's also other satellites in this low-earth-orbit that have the same orbiting times, such as the Oersted satellite which is used to monitor magnetic levels and is named for Danish physicist and philosopher Hans Oersted, or, Hans O.
swans, polar bears, magnetism, satellites orbiting every 108 minutes, french/english, hans o./hanso -- now that's a coincidence.
Yeah, I did some homework.
Enjoy the show tonight!
