Buy the calendars, ya mooks! The calendars work different than novels in sales figures. Every sold one DOES count, and is a step closer to Mojo being asked back to do the next one if Pocket still wants it! And why would Pocket still want it? BECAUSE THEY SOLD TONS OF THE LAST ONE!

Someone oughta talk to Pocket Books Australia (or who ever handles that here - Simon Schuster... MOJO... Last year all the trek calendars were to be found everywhere (at all the little calendar stands) This year NOT A ONE. Asking about it the person at the counter says "I don't know why we don't have them this year". So I ordered Ships of the Line... but the otherday being across the otherside of town found a few copies - but only in one place - and none in Book stores. So something is 'fucked up' there. With distribution.

I didn't think it was a mistake in TMP... Vulcan is in orbit with another planet in the system. They revolve around one another and it's this other planet that has the moon. So Vulcan has no moon, it's just co-orbiting with another nearby planet with one. The Star Charts book includes that depiction on page 58.

So where is this twin planet when we see Vulcan in ST:IV? In the shot where the Bounty is on approach, the planet is clearly a lone body with no moons or nearby planets.

By that logic, Earth doesnt have a moon, since many of the images of Earth I see lack any orbiting bodies.
You have to be fairly far away from a planet in order to get its satellite in the same frame. The Bounty was on a close approach to Vulcan..

I thought that was a little weird too, but when you think about it, most of the time the Enterprise-D returned to Earth it was alone in orbit as well. It's really too bad TNG didn't have the cash to spend or the means to do stuff like orbital facilities...
