. A little larger picture. Thanks for taking my tour! I hope you enjoyed seeing our observatory and I really hope that I was able to inspire you to come visit us. We have PUBLIC NIGHT on the SECOND Saturday of each month (March - November) or by appointment. Appointments are really easy to get, simply click here and let us know when you and/or your group can come down, we would love to have you! .

... We're at the [NASA] Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, to speak with Center Director Kevin Petersen for the NASA at 50 Oral History Project. ... Wright: As you mention, it's a unique opportunity to be at one [NASA] Center all the years of your career. ... Petersen: Well, I think, in the early years, the Center was focused more on experimental aircraft and aeronautics, and we had some space-related activities too, with the lifting bodies and other vehicles associated with that. ...

A very important stage in a story of formation of any new science is the shift from discussion of situation which are possible but do not occur in practice due to some reason to recognition of real phenomena of interest. ... We suggest to consider computer viruses as this new specific form of life which is coming in the contact with our form of life. ... Computer life has been created by human being, the role of independent evolution of computer viruses seems to be still negligible. ...

The quality is deliberately very poor, and there is a good reason for that: I don't really want to get into trouble with the Bank of Canada.. ... I only show the interesting side of the banknotes, i.e. the sides with BIRDS! ... 100 (Canada Goose) . The funny thing with the other side of the banknotes (with their boring faces) is that there always is the name of the person depicted on the banknote (e.g. Laurier, MacDonald, King, Borden). ...

... My mother had a 'star named for me' with the International Star Registry (henceforth ISR) as a gift for this Christmas. ... On the back of the chart, a sticker described the precise location and visual magnitude of the star, taken from the Hubble Guide Star Catalog. The first thing I noticed, was the chart was Epoch 1950. ... The coordinates were also exactly those on the ISR sticker, so I now knew that even though the ISR chart was epoch 1950, the coordinates on the sticker were epoch 1983. ...
