If that is the saying, I feel it should be eight corners, since the Earth is three dimensional, but I guess it flows better than the polar opposites of the earth. Maybe six corners? North and south pole and four equidistant points on the equator? 5/28/2010 3:09:24 PM |

Maybe its in reference to the 4 nearest lagrange points.
Obviously you wouldn't count L3 for that sort of thing. 5/28/2010 3:15:28 PM |
