Thanks for the precision. ;-)
As the diameter of the earth can be found by subtracting the coordinates of
these two, one obtains a diameter increase of 2*981 cm per sec. But
according to me the earth's diameter does not change that much per second.
Do you think otherwise?!

Note that not only that is creazy, it also doesn't work: the moon would seem
to shrink as compared to the earth.

Cheers,
Harald
