you answered about the last question, champion_munch's question was asking about the correct question, which so far as I know has never come up before. Do we have to answer it?
I'm going to hit you any second, ATP, you're confusing the questions.

Unconfirmed:

Eroica asked:
Where would you be most likely to observe atomic oxygen emission at wavelength 557.7 nanometres?

Arneb answered:
On Earth - or from earth orbit, over the nightside. There is an emissive layer of atomic oxygen, somewhere in the upper atmosphere. The emision is drowned by daylight, so you have to go to the nightside.
True? Is this emission caused by cosmic radiation, by the way?

Answered but not confirmed:

ATP:

With all that change in area, and its shifting phases (ignoring the times when it is very close (a solar diameter) to the Sun), how many magnitudes does the apparent brightness of Venus vary?

C-Munch answer: My guess is -4.7 to -3.9; so 0.8 magnitudes. Is he right, ATP?


Guessed but no confirmation:

Arneb asked:

"So here we are." What book, what occasion?
