ARMAGH ASTRONOMER'S METEOR PREDICTIONS SPOT ON . Armagh Observatory, 22 November 1999: . Predictions by Armagh Observatory astronomer Dr David Asher, regarding the time of the peak activity of the Leonid meteor shower last week, proved to be accurate within 5 minutes. This is the first time that a meteor storm has been predicted with such precision. The meteor storm peaked just after 2:00am on 18 November with observers at Malaga in Spain reporting 3000 - 4000 shooting stars per hour. ...

Nearly four centuries ago, Galileo's simple observations of Earth's planetary sibling, Venus, buoyed the proponents of a Copernican universe. ... The Italian astronomer had settled into a new house in Florence and had begun to observe Venus, which in November 1610 would have appeared as an evening star, bright in the western sky after dusk. ... From these two observations, Galileo inferred that Venus must orbit closer to the Sun than does Earth. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
