. How could I not image this beauty. Some kids from a Jr. High School in Kansas called me last night with their "discovery" and it sure was a let down to explain to them that it was just nabbed by an automated 30" telescope. How sweet it would have been if it was their discovery! . So it goes. Mike Schwartz , Director . Tenagra Observatories , Ltd. Cottage Grove, OR 97424 . Back to Bright Supernovae .

On January 23, 1998 the space probe NEAR was on its way to its closest approach to Earth. Shortly before this, a so-called sunglint event was scheduled: by re-orienting its solar panels in order to reflect sunlight onto Earth's surface, the probe would shine for a few minutes brighter than any star in the sky. ... However, we were able to record a series of images of the space probe shortly before the sunglint event, and we have assembled them into a movie. ...

... His early works dealt with statistical methods especially in atmospheric, geomagnetic and ionospheric tides. In 1928, Bartels became professor in Eberswalde; in 1936, he became director of the Potsdam Geophysical Institute and full professor at Berlin university. ... With these statistical methods, he was able to disprove many widely accepted geophysical models on the one hand and develop some very useful and easy to apply geophysical indices on the other. ...
