Enquanto esperamos pelo major Tom

Vale mesmo a pena dar um salto até António Cidadão's Home-Page of Lunar and Planetary Observation and CCD Imaging.

Marte, claro, Júpiter, Saturno. E a Lua aqui tão perto...

"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
