IMAGE DESCPT        :  A solar sailor, sailing between a planet and it's 
                   satellite.  Solar sailors use nothing but the pressure of
            photons on the sails for propulsion.  (Action/Reaction)

Description of how image was created:

The ship was created in Cadkey and exported in dxf format, then
translated to Pov using Wcvt2Pov.  All textures and colors were created
in Pov by me.

COMMENT:  Anything in the universe could be used to demonstrate physics,
          an apple falling, a sailing ship on the ocean, a shuttle launch,
          your car on the road, or just you walking.  Even an object at
          rest is demonstrating physics. (An object at rest tends to stay
          at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force.)
