    And the strength of that signal is so weak that a modern day digital watch operates at at a power level 20 billion times greater. The sensitivity of the deep-space tracking antennas (one of which is just outside Canberra) that can pick up such a weak signal is amazing.

    Oh, and the resolution of the Voyager narrow-angle television cameras is sharp enough to read a newspaper headline at a distance of 1 km.

    I finally found out how the US geological survey gets their figure of 17.5 for the ratio of silver to gold.
    Search ebay's Coins & Paper Money! It is hard work.
