List,
I once asked the List if the Earth could have as yet undetected
FAINT[obviously faint enough to have as yet evaded detection] debris rings.
I don't mean to beat a dead horse here but, I'll ask the list again to
consider this possibility given the various optical phenomena [Kordylewski
Clouds, Lagrangian Points,] yet fully explained and the difficulties
observing potential rings due to Solar interference for one.
By way of a poor analogy, Flying Gnats "glow" bright when their angle to the
sun and our eye are "fortunate". At other times of the day you'll swallow or
breathe them before you ever see them. Swallows dart around feasting on
these tiny critters all day long as they make flight adjustments to
highlight their prey.
Points of observation are everything.
Hope I don't raise anyone's ire. Just love to speculate for fun and profit!!
Jerry
