. Attached is the discovery image of SN1999by. It is a 30 second exposure with the 30cm SCT and Starlight Xpress camera. The discovery was confirmed by Tom Boles and Mark Armstrong and looks as if it could be very bright. Although the weather has been very poor, I have managed over 1500 observations in April.

Good agreement between the inferred 0 and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. ...

... Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: . A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. ... The gas cools off enough for the metal, rock and (far enough from the forming star) ice to condense out into tiny particles. (i.e. some of the gas turns back into dust). ... Once the larger of these particles get big enough to have a nontrivial gravity, their growth accelerates. ...
