The whole story doesn’t ring true.
Betelgeuse, Ford Prefect is from Betelgeuse. Not Guilford, like he said.
You must have read the UK, rather than the US, edition. Lucky kneebiter. 
I read the radio scripts.
Oh good. I’ve always wanted to see Saturn up close!
Wow. This Saturday! That’s just in time for Mimas Day.
Actually, it’s now Climate Change.
And if we were 8.9 AU from Saturn, with Saturn between us and the sun, then yes, I think we could expect a bit of climate change.
Long johns and ear muffs ain’t gonna cut it.
Except, AU is defined by the distance between the Earth and the Sun, so how Saturn could be directly between the Earth and the Sun and yet also be more than one AU away is mathematically perplexing.
Curved space?
A “wormhole”? Scary. Or maybe the writer transcribed “astronomical unit” from “AU” in the notes — if that were the case, and they meant the other measurement that uses that abbreviation, we would be getting a really close look at Saturn :eek:
The Solar system is just a huge conspiracy anyway.
Oooh, pretty! Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been looking for something just like that. 
Er, nope. That would be a Solar eclipse. However, if we actually had two types of Solar eclipses, they’d need to add a word.
See what happens when you leave punctuation out? That little ring over the A in Ångström Unit is punctuation, right?
No, punctuation falls between words, or sometimes in the middle of a word, but it is always divisible from a character. What you are speaking of is a “diacritic” or diacritical mark. And anyway, in English, it is spelt “angstrom”, because “Ångström” was some Swedish dude’s name.
