These are the images from February . With only a little arguing, we were able to bail mother and daughter out of the hospital the next morning. Leaving the hospital. Note that there is no place to park, which was just as true yesterday... A representative pose. She wasn't born yesterday... I just liked the composition of this one. And the rest are just pictures... Another typical pose . Ellen Howell <ehowell@naic.edu> Last modified: Sun Mar 30 22:11:32 AST

... February 6, 1999 . The First Explorer . ... Explorer I carried instrumentation to measure internal and external temperatures, micrometeorite impacts, and an experiment designed by James A. Van Allen to measure the density of electrons and ions in space. The measurements made by Van Allen's experiment led to an unexpected and startling discovery -- an earth-encircling belt of high energy electrons and ions trapped in the magnetosphere now known as the Van Allen Belt . ...
