You may remember that Hosking Industries designed two new company logos and a few other things like business cards and fliers for Central Coast (NSW) business Woods & Woods Motor Co a couple of months ago. If not, you can see the designs HERE. While we were at it, we were also commissioned by Woods & Woods to design the company's trade displays for this year's MotorEx in Homebush, Sydney. Check them out below.
The design incorporated the new logos we designed for the company and continued with the Art Deco theme that they were after. The main banner was over two metres high and over three long, while the smaller of the two banners was 2m high and around 800mm wide, designed using Adobe Illustrator and supplied to the printer as high-resolution PDFs. There was no sign of distortion or artifacts even right up close.
If you've got a design project coming up, let Hosking Industries provide you with an obligation-free quote. You won't be disappointed!

When you begin to wear hearing aids, you will have to re-train your brain to hear the sounds you wish to hear and ignore the sounds you don't want to hear, i.e., the hum of a refrigerator or background conversation. You will need to understand that your new hearing aids do not sound the same as your old hearing used to sound.
Don't get discouraged. You have been hearing through a damaged system that has delivered distorted signals to your brain. Now, the sounds you are being exposed to are louder and different than what you are used to. In time, your brain will adjust to the new signals it is receiving.
It is important to wear your hearing aids as much as possible to get used to them and how they work. Patience is the key. Encourage your friends and family to speak to you in a normal tone. Remember, you are not alone. There are millions of people with hearing loss, and as the baby boomers age, the numbers will only grow. It is nothing to be ashamed of, and there are many treatment options available to you in these modern days.

There's a messy hole in my soul,
Which only you can patch and mend.
The ragged edges yawn and flutter,
creating an emotional maelstrom.
A melancholic brocade takes the eye
Away from the gaping chasm…
Which is hell.
A Munch -like hell.
The scream of the whirling wind of despair,
Has lost it's voice,
It speaks in deeds.
Help save my tattered soul.
I have no other way to turn.

A captain of the 44th Cerberus in command of the 2nd Squadron "Rot", Gerhard is the gentlemanly and semi-eccentric "Sonic Baron", one of the "Seven Heroes of Britain". A great squash referee, he is also excellent at reading in-between the lines when it comes to human interaction, and his moustache is considered legendary amongst the members of the 44th.
Despite his excellent skills in close-combat, Gerhard usually takes up a rearguard position to avoid conflicting with Wilfried's point-man position during operations.
His red Typhoon, together with his unique looks, personality, and custom-red pilot suit, makes him as recognizable as heroes come.
In short, the Sonic Baron is. FABULOUS. AS. FUCK.

Age: 56
Lives: Was born in Newcastle, growing up in in Hebburn, London, and Cippenham in Berkshire where he went to the same school as Chief Executive of Sports Direct, Mike Ashley, before returning to Jarrow in the North East. He now lives with his wife, daughter(17) and son(15) in Ponteland.
Hobbies: My main passion is travel. Before kids we used to explore the far-flung places and I love the Far East, South Pacific and all the islands in that area. I've had ideas of cruising across from Chile to Australia but I think you'd have to do that in two trips. But I'd like to see all the islands in that area. We've got a motorhome and we've really enjoyed some interesting trips through Europe including Croatia, Elba, the Italian Lakes, Sorrento, Portugal and central Spain.
Sports: I'm an avid Newcastle United fan where my son and I have season tickets and where I'm regularly reminded of the irony of my linkages to Mike Ashley.
Dream Job: Airline pilot if I couldn't be a consulting engineer
Northumbria University: Building Services Engineering
Previous Roles: Director at Sweco UK, National Design Consultancy, WSP Parsons Brinkerhoff and White Young Green, now WYG.
Career Highs
My highs are being able to make a difference. If I look at my career history there have been a couple of common themes to my roles, the main ones involving opening and launching new offices, or resurrecting and rescuing failing offices. In terms of what I've recently done, building a new team for Sweco in the North East was quite satisfying, but equally going in to other organisations and reinvigorating teams where morale was low and staff churn was high has been very rewarding. In such cases, team restructuring has sometimes been required but I have found that treating people in the way you expect to be treated yourself combined with open communication, keeping teams informed of company activities and making them feel valued have been the key ingredients to reversing a negative situation. The internal effort also needs to be supported by a significant amount of external networking activity and involvement with institutes and other associations to strengthen the profile and reputation of the business.
Dealing with troubled offices has its moments of tension and pressure, but I've made these sorts of changes in a number of organisations and have derived quite a lot of satisfaction from that. Building something from new is also exciting and when you see the rewards it's really satisfying, so the opportunity to build this new office for Tate Consulting in Manchester is really motivating.
In terms of projects, I've worked on large and small schemes. In the North, Bridgewater Place, which I think is still the tallest building in Leeds was one of the most memorable and one which I worked on from the initial concept design. I also worked on the Jubilee Line extension for London Underground. On a smaller scale I've enjoyed the aviation projects at Newcastle Airport and Leeds and Bradford Airport.
I've also been quite successful in terms of leading bids for major frameworks and strategic appointments, such as Crown Commercial Services Framework, Procure 21/22 and the North East Procurement Organisation. After securing such appointments I've enjoyed overseeing their delivery and also undertaking key account management functions roles for major clients.
Career Lows
I think for me the biggest lows have come from the impact of recession and other political issues such as the disastrous Brexit situation. One of the biggest challenges to the construction industry is that it's the barometer of the economic climate and every time there is a recession or political uncertainty investors lack confidence and construction output falls, usually leading to redundancies or businesses to collapse. It's not always the case, some businesses happen to be working in the right sectors and for the right organisations at these times, but generally speaking it's a time of contraction for the industry and it has affected my career in the past.
What made you want to join Tate Consulting?
I've known Shane Tate for many years and of the success he has had with his businesses so when I heard that he was looking for someone to launch the Manchester office I was very interested to hear his plans. Needless to say, I was impressed with what he had to say about the business and where he wanted to take it. I was also really impressed by the depth of capability of the business in terms of general building services capability, but also the leading-edge specialisms in the residential and logistic sectors that we have, both of which are very active sectors in construction at the moment. It's a business with a clear plan and it felt like an ideal time for me to join.
Also, the size of the business is appealing, I've been involved with the large PLC multi-national organisations where remote decision making and internal politics can be frustrating.
What would you like to achieve in your new role as Director of the Manchester office? What are your first priorities?
We have a lot of existing clients who are based in the North West and I quickly need to establish business relationships with them as they're very important to us. I need to make sure that we're looking after their needs as a priority. In addition to this I need to focus on us getting our name established in the region, there are many who will know of us, but may not know we have a presence in Manchester now. Equally there'll be others who don't know us, and I need to change that. So initially there is going to be a lot of marketing and business development to establish and develop our presence.
I look forward to building a new team and moulded in a way in the way I'd like to see the team built, and I know from discussions with Shane we're like-minded on this.
Fundamentally though I simply want to see the business grow in line with the business plan of the organisation I've put together with Shane for Manchester.
Day in the life of..
It changes in time depending on the maturity of your office. Initially when you're setting up a new office you're going to be virtually one hundred per cent focussed on business development and marketing with new and existing clients. But as a business we always maintain director involvement with projects, so as projects are secured less time will be spent doing business development and more of that time will be shifted to overseeing projects being delivered. In time I would see that shift to fifty per cent of my time being focussed on business development, maybe even slightly less, with the rest of my time being spent in project involvement and general management of the teams and business.
How do you see the industry landscape changing in the future?
I think it's fascinating when you start to think about it because everything is changing so fast and peoples' requirements are changing as well. I'm excited by the advances that the UK is making in generating electricity from renewable energies, for example, the capacity of wind generated electricity now exceeds what we can generate through carbon fuels and I feel that this may cause the biggest change in our industry. The wind generated capacity isn't there all the time because it's dependent on the wind blowing of course, but if we can store the energy generated when the wind is blowing, which we now can with the advances in battery technology, then it should change the way buildings are designed. In the past we've always avoided heating buildings with electricity because it's been harmful to the environment and an inefficient way of providing heating, but if it's all being generated through green sources it has to be better and safer than burning gas to heat buildings. The installation of electrical installations is also a lot easier, cheaper and more spatially efficient than other alternatives. In the future everything might be electrically driven and we're already seeing that shift with car technology. The advances in battery technology for the motor industry can also be relevant to construction where a small domestic battery can now store enough electrical power to supply a home for a week or longer. So with all of these advances and improved energy performance of buildings you can see how the way we design buildings could change. Our work has a positive impact on the environment and this is one of the best things about being a consulting engineer.
I'm often intrigued by developments in the industry as everything seems to go full circle. Take residential as an example, a sector that is a particular strength of Tate Consulting. We're currently building a lot of tall buildings, yet only recently we were demolishing high-rise buildings in various cities because they didn't work for people. This was more to do with the inadequate design of the buildings and them not working for families. However, there is now a clear demand for PRS accommodation and I'm excited to be part of that.
District heating is another example. During the course of my career I have worked on a lot of projects which decentralised heating installations, replacing central boiler-house installations that supplied hot water to district heating systems with local smaller boilers in the buildings served by these systems. The decentralised approach was considered to be more energy efficient but at present we are seeing many new district heating systems being constructed in various cities across the UK. The difference is that these systems are often served by a renewable heat source or as part of an energy from waste system but it does seem a little ironic.
Peoples' needs are also changing and that has ramifications for the construction sector. For instance, the fact that we are living longer has created a strong demand for care homes. Linked to this, dementia is a subject that I can't remember being mentioned when I was young but I think most people now have close relatives who have been affected by it and this is adding to the need for care facilities. Tate Consulting has a lot of experience in the care/assisted living sector and I think it will continue to be a strong market or us.

About the games
What is a Live Escape Game?
Escape Games are the new way to have a fun teamevent! You will get locked in a room (of course there is always an emergency door that is not locked!) and you will have one hour to escape by using objects, riddles and solutions.
How much time do we have?
You have 60 minutes to break out! Be creative and work together in the team to get out.
What do we have to do?
You have to collect items, identify clues, reveal secrets and break out of the room before the 60 minutes expire. To succeed, you will need good communication, teamwork, power of observation, logic and of course, a lot of fun!
What happens after the 60 minutes?
What is the reward for your success? Of course it's the priceless moment when everything makes sense and you find the right solution! It's the feeling that you and your friends were able to prove that you better be called Sherlock Holmes, McGyver or Agatha Christie in the future.
The fastest teams get a place of honour on both our online wall-of-fame and our wall in the room. Your parents will surely be veeeeeery proud of you!
What if we are already stuck in the first few minutes?
Your adventure will be supervised by a game master who can give you hints. So you will not be all alone.
What if something in the room is not working?
We give our best so that everything in the room works. Generally, the rooms will be inspected and if necessary repaired after each group. It is however possible that something will break anyway, you will be able to contact us from inside the room. We fix every problem!
Will we be supported during the game?
Every game is supervised and we can help you if you are going in the complete wrong direction. Nobody gets lost at Breakout Basel, we promise that!
Will I need physical strength?
No. All the riddles can be solved with logic and sensitiveness. If you have sore muscles the day after you have done something wrong.
What group size is appropriate?
Our games are laid our for 2-6 players. But there is a possibility to play several rooms at the same time in parallel. This allows for up to 25 people to play at the same time. Contact us, it can even be more!
We are very experienced Live Escape Room players, will it still be a challenge for us?
Yes, just choose the level of difficulty 'difficult' or 'HARDCORE' if you think you are Escape experts!
Which language can we play in?
Our rooms are language neutral. Our game masters speak German, English and a little bit French. Our Scavencher Hunts can be played in German or English.
Do I have to be sporty?
You do not need to sporty or particularly fit to play our rooms, but you will need your braincells for it.
Will there be surprises or scary moments?
No. Your puls will only get faster because of the excitement in the game! The only exception being the game Bâlekenstein where you will need a little stronger nerves, as the Room has a few scary moments.
We are 20 persons, can we still play?
No problem! We have several rooms and experiences which can be played at the same time. We have already done events with 250 persons. Also, there is an option called "Duell-Modus" which means that several groups can play in the same room after another and compare their results. Please contact us if you would like to organise an event like this, we are happy to help you out!
I don´t want to be locked inside a room, can this be a problem?
Don´t worry, nobody will be locked in. All our rooms have an alternative exit which is never locked.
We would like to party a little bit. Can we drink alcohol at Breakout Basel?
The games will obviously be better if you are sober. But you can enjoy a drink before or after your game if you would like that! Drinks are prohibited in the rooms, though. But: whoever takes a cup too much can be excluded from the games.
When do I have to be there?
On time ? Preferably you arrive a few minutes before your booking so we have enough time for instructions.
How long does an event take?
The escape itself lasts for 60 minutes. Add the instructions beforehand and the pictures afterwards to your time schedule and you will be fine. All in all it shouldn't last longer than 90 minutes, though.
We will be 1 person more than planned. Can this person play with us?
Sure! You will pay for the number of players that actually played.
We are 7 players, can we play nonetheless?
Our games are designed for a maximum of 6 players, so we do not recommend 7 players. The rooms will be very crowded and the communication in the team will be restricted during the breakout. But it is possible! There were successful breakouts from our prison Bâlecatraz with 7 players. If you really want to play with seven players just book a time for a group of 6 and add a note during the course of the booking saying you will be a group of 7.
Will I play the game with friends of will there be strangers playing with me?
You will play in a team with your friends. We do not mix groups, don´t worry. When you book a room it´s only for you.
Is there on-site parking?
We do not offer parking at our locality. Close-by there is the Centralbahnparking at Bahnhof SBB (swiss railway station Basel, very expensive). Cheaper but also a little further away you can find the car parks "Aeschen" and "Bahnhof Süd". In the small streets close to our address there are some parking spots but it's rather difficult to find a free one straight away.
Is it easy to get to Breakout Basel with public transport?
We are ideally situated 5 minutes from the central station Basel SBB on foot. Alternatively there are the tram stops "Peter Merian" and "Grosspeterstrasse".
One of the players has broken his/her leg before the event. Can he/she still play with us?
Yes. Three of our rooms are located on the ground floor, one on the first, but there is a lift you can use. In the rooms there are no big obstacles that cannot be passed with crutches. We just ask you to inform us beforehand so we are prepared. Only in the game Bâlekenstein you'll need to be well on your feet and able to walk.
Are the games wheelchair accessible?
Bâlecatraz and Bâle Royale can be played in a wheelchair. But we do not have wheelchair accessible toilets.
Is there a minimum or maximum age?
You can never be too old for an Escape Room! Everybody from grandchild to grandparents is welcomed. We recommend the games from the age of 8. For the ages 8-12 we also offer a special level of difficulty for children, called "Kinder". For the scavencher hunts, you need to have one adult per group who accompanies the children in the city.
Do I need special equipment?
You will get everything you need from Breakout Basel. We recommend you comfortable clothing in which you can move around. With outdoor events you should obviously clothe according to the weather. For the outdoor activities you will most likely need a functioning internet connection on your phone.
It´s my mum´s birthday, I would like to gift her an event at Breakout Basel. Do you have gift cards?
Of course we have gift cards! You can also book an individual riddle for birthdays if you´d like that!
What experiences await me at Breakout Basel?
You can choose between outdoor or indoor activites. Outdoors you can play thrilling scavenger-hunts, indoors we offer our Escape Rooms and Virtual Reality Adventures.
How can I book?
It's very easy: simply choose a date that suits you on our booking page. You can also chose a level of difficulty while booking.
How can we pay?
We prefer cash directly on the day of the event in our locality. Of course we also accept all credit cards, apart from the Postcard. Making an invoice is normally not possible, only with teamevents.
Can I play spontaneously?
It is absolutely necessary to make a reservation. You can do that only until up to 24h ahead of the event. For more spontaneous actions, call us and we will do our best to get a free spot for you.
Can I cancel or delay my reservation?

Investing in real estate can bring in cash quickly. You must do well and learn as much as you can before you begin. Continue reading this article to learn how to go about it properly.
Before investing in real estate, try analyzing the market and researching thoroughly. You should view numerous properties and make a spreadsheet. This will make it easy for you to weigh the pros and cons of each property. This will allow you to pick out great deals instead of ones that are bad.
Make sure to gain a thorough understanding of local property values. Mortgages and rent costs will give you a good idea your property value. You can make better decisions when you think about all of this.
Find an area of real estate investing that appeals to you, and stay with it. It is easier to get into a successful flow with your investing if you are focused on your market segment. Regardless of what you are doing, make sure that you feel comfortable.
A key element in real estate investing is finding the right location. The condition of the property and other aspects can easily be changed. Properties in areas that are depreciating are generally bad investments. Know what you are doing and make sure to research the areas around where you live.
The areas that you buy property in should be fairly well-known and appealing. You increase the potential resale value of your initial investment. Try finding property that can easily be maintained.
Before buying a property, learn the real estate essentials. If you don't stay mindful of your choices, you risk making some expensive mistakes. Training yourself will go a long way to make sure you're protected.
If you are investing in property to rent out, screen your potential tenants carefully. Ensure the tenant can pay a deposit and the first month's rent right away. If the renter is struggling with coming up with these things, it's a good bet that they will struggle with paying for their monthly rent, too. Keep searching for the right tenant.
While you may want to diversify your portfolio with purchases all over the place, it is wise to make some local investments. Since you know your area well, it is best to look for opportunities there. At the very least, it would probably be best to get started there.
Learn about the neighborhood before investing in real estate. Location is critical, and it is also essential to understand relevant zoning regulations. Talk to neighbors and get a feel for the area.
If you are thinking about investing in real estate properties alone, also consider getting a competent property manager to do your tenant screenings. Make sure they are qualified and honest. The wrong property manager could cost you a lot of money.
It is true that investments in real estate can bring about quite a bit of income. However, when key information is lacking, the path can be bumpy. Hopefully, you've just been given the advice you need to set you on your way.

A long weekend in Key West Florida
My parents spent the month of November in a rented house in Key West. We traveled down to see them for Thanksgiving. We flew Spirit airlines (probably my least favorite airline: a "budget" carrier that nickel and dimes you to death for the privilege of cramming yourself in to one of their tiny faux leather seats) from Atlantic City to Ft. Lauderdale then rented a car to drive down the Keys. While we'd been to Key West before, we'd never driven there, and we'd never…Read More

The ex-Channel NewsAsia presenter is an avid traveller (just look at his Instagram) with a penchant for adventures. After a life-changing trip to Macchu Picchu that sparked his departure from the news industry, the 43-year-old forked out more than a quarter of a million dollars on a Subway franchise, started a tech news company, and very recently returned to the limelight - this time as a radio presenter for 938Now. What's going through the ever-youthful man's mind?
8 DAYS: The last time we spoke, you had already left Channel NewsAsia to run a tech news company and a Subway restaurant. Now you're back — as a presenter on 938Now.
TIMOTHY GO: I left CNA because I didn't want my life to revolve around global events. The good thing about 938Now is that we were all brought in to talk about what we are passionate about. In my case, it's news about technology, travelling and aviation. That's pretty much the beat that I'm covering for my show, Your Evening Escape. I don't have to do much research, because these are the things I live and breathe every day. The extra step is just to record the segments. I'm always travelling, but I can still be on air, which is another plus point. I can do the things that I want to do without having to physically be here. That's the beauty of radio (laughs).
How would you describe the new look of 938Now?
The way I'd like to describe 938Now is that we have all these bits of information about all sorts of things, from lifestyle to tech to travel. It's like little songs we play throughout the day. There's something for everyone, and it's all bite-sized. If you don't like tech, you know two minutes later there's something else about food or health — you don't have to tune out. Then there's also music. It's definitely very interesting.
You invested more than a quarter million dollars in a Subway outlet in Taman Jurong. Have you broken even?
Not yet. It's not even been a year. We're still learning several things, such as the behaviour of our customers in the area. For example, we realise that during school holidays, business is slower because nobody is around. But I have a good team and the business is surviving.
We hear you'd occasionally serve the customers.
I still do! I enjoy that part of Subway. It's also good for the customers to see that I'm there. I'm not there as often as I used to be. But whenever it gets busy I still put on the uniform, usually on weekends. The real stars of the shop are the sandwich artists.
You also have a bread display and communal table which most Subway outlets don't have.
This is because we have the space, and I wanted it to look contemporary. A communal table is also great for students. The bread display helps the mostly Chinese-speaking residents in the neighbourhood to familiarise themselves with the types of bread sold. It's an expensive bread display, by the way (laughs). And no, I don't mind students studying at my shop. We have free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and student meals.
Based on your Instagram feed, you travel a lot. What were your most memorable travels recently?
I managed to visit all the Eight Wonders of the World this year. But the most memorable place was Machu Picchu. On my way there, people were telling me how my life will change once I visit the place. That didn't sink in until I returned to Singapore, when I decided to take back my life. Why? The journey to Machu Picchu was about five days, but I only spent eight hours there. I spent so much time getting to the site, only to spend eight hours there. That was not what I wanted; I wanted to stay and enjoy and not rush back to work. That was 2014 and it started a process of me taking a step back and leaving the news industry. And then I'm back again now (laughs), but on my own terms.
Since you're 938Now's tech guy, tell us what your must-have gadgets are.
Increasingly I realise that [my Note 8] is the only thing I really need to survive. I travel around with a laptop, but I've been using it less and less. That's it! I don't play games, watch shows or even listen to music on my phone because I'm so scared of the battery dying.
Your Evening Escape is on 938Now, weekdays, 6pm-9pm.

151-A Climate Changer
Click to Listen
Published PRX May 28 , 2015
Recorded May 13, 2015
The asteroid hunting community has discovered more than 90% of the 1 KM or larger asteroids whose impact could cause global climate change.
Recently the PanSTARRS group in Hawaii discovered a new large potentially hazardous asteroid.
It is the 872nd, 1 KM sized asteroid to be discovered and has a diameter of approximately 10 football fields. When humans first spotted it this asteroid was more than 1.5 times the distance to our Sun from us. It was traveling towards Earth at almost 13 miles per second. Observations by telescopes in Arizona, Hawaii, and Germany were used to discover it's orbit around the Sun. The Minor Planet Center gave it the name 2015 HY116.
Fortunately this large Earth Approaching Object never gets closer to us than about 19 times the distance to our Moon. If it did collide with planet Earth it would released 850 times the energy of the most powerful hydrogen bomb ever exploded and produce a crater 8 or 9 miles in diameter. It is about the minimum size for an impacting object to produce global climate change. Statistical studies predict such an impact every 500,000 years or so.
It should be stressed that the asteroid hunting community has not found an object like 2015 HY116 which is on a collision course with planet Earth. If we do, we hope to provide a minimum of days to weeks notice so that the affected area can be evacuated.

Within the space of a couple of days my Catalina Sky Survey teammates Rik Hill and Rose Matheny discovered three new potentially dangerous asteroids.
Rik's discovery was named 2015 JJ. It travels about the Sun, in a bit over a year, on a somewhat unusual path that takes it from about 20% outside to about 10% inside that of the Earth's orbit. Further observations by telescopes at more than a dozen locations around the globe refined its orbit and its size estimate was reduced about 5%. It is thus slightly smaller than is required for it to be classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid. Even so it bears watching since it can come closer to us than our Moon.
Rose Matheny discovered two potentially hazardous asteroids 2015 JD1 and 2015 JV. The largest 2015 JD1, is about 850 feet in diameter and orbits the Sun in about 1.34 years. It gets the biggest baddest award, since when it crosses the Earth's orbit it is traveling at more than 32 miles/second relative to us. Fortunately it never gets closer to us than about 9 times the distance to our Moon.
Rose's other Potentially Hazardous Asteroid, 2015 JV is about half the size of the larger one.
The asteroid hunting community will continue to track these asteroids to make sure that their paths are not changed to make them a threat.

The most likely alien invaders are viruses or other bits of living materials that humans have exported from or imported to Earth's biosphere. Currently there are international efforts, like the outer space treaty and the Committee on Space Research, to keep the human exploration of space from spreading Earth's life forms to other places or to contaminate our own biosphere with extraterrestrial organisms if they exist.
We have seen how the AIDS virus and the Ebola virus have rapidly spread in the human population and how difficult it is to contain them. What would happen if we accidentally exported an organism that would flourish on Mars or brought back a Martian virus?
We have sent robotic probes to Mars and will land one on the asteroid Bennu in a few years. Great care has been taken to prevent these emissaries from contaminating in either direction.
Humans are more of a problem. A typical human being is host to a hundred trillion microorganisms from ten thousand species. If these microorganisms were exterminated the human would die. When we start sending astronauts to Mars how we we keep them spreading Earth's life forms to a place which may have its own living organisms?
There is evidence that Mars once offered conditions habitable conditions for micro biological life.
Suppose we don't find any life forms on Mars in 10, 20, or 30 years? Remember that Mars has a surface area equal to the land area on Earth. When will we be able to say "there is no life on Mars" and forget about contaminating the red planet?

Computer data, audio programming, and video content must be migrated forward in time as technology evolves, or its information is lost. Does anyone remember 9 track computer tapes or an 8 track audio tape? On the other hand a photographic plate taken in 1885 contains a wealth of information which can be viewed directly by a human or converted into digital information.
From about 1885 to 1992 more than 500,000 photographic glass plates were taken with telescopes at various locations and sent to the Harvard College Observatory. Over the years the same area of the sky was photographed repeatedly. These time lapse images are a unique record of changes in the Universe over more than 100 years.
In the past obtaining information from these glass plates was a slow tedious endeavor which required researchers to travel to Cambridge, find the images for a particular time and the area of the sky by looking at logbooks, and finally studying the information contained on each relevant photographic plate.
The situation changed dramatically with the construction of a custom designed plate cleaner and most importantly an extremely fast, accurate plate scanner. Each plate is carefully cleaned and scanned to produce a digital file of the brightness and position of every object on the plate.
Get ready! Every time we look at the Universe in a new way something totally unexpected pops up.

In folklore the full Moon is associated with insanity, magic, and other paranormal events. None of this has any basis in scientific fact.
In reality, the full moon lights up the sky so brightly that it is difficult to impossible to find faint stars or asteroids. My group, the NASA funded Catalina Sky Survey does not observe at the full moon, instead we have a meeting. It is the one time of the month that none of us is observing.
There are many things which must happen for us to be able to find new Earth approaching asteroids. At our full moon meetings we go through any problems which occurred on each of the three telescopes our team operates; the 60 inch on Mt. Lemmon, the 40 inch on Mt. Lemmon, and 27 inch Schmidt telescope on nearby Mt. Bigelow.
We use the same computer programming environment at each telescope. This software allows us to cull through the millions of objects we image each night to find a handful of new Earth approaching objects. Much of our discussions concern refinements to this family of computer programs.
During July and August the monsoon rains come to southern Arizona. During this time our group does routine maintenance and makes major equipment up grades.
The third night after full moon we begin to search the sky for Earth approaching objects for the a total of 24 nights before we again break for the full moon. Our team discovers about 600 new near Earth objects per year and has accounted for about 47% of the total humans know about.

In less than 10 nights my team, the NASA funded Catalina Sky Survey, discovered 8 new close approaching asteroids. They orbit the Sun with periods from less than a year to a bit over 4 years. They range in sizes from that of a large truck to one with a diameter that would allow it to fit into a football field.
The closest approaching of these asteroids was discovered by my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Jess Johnson. 2015 KW121 is about 60 feet in diameter and can pass closer to us than our communication satellites. Three days before Johnson spotted it this small space rock it was bright enough to be detected by backyard telescopes. No one spotted it then as it streaked across the night sky. When Jess found this small space rock it was about 333,000 miles from us and traveling was away from the Earth at 13 miles/second. It was visible to Earth's telescopes for less than a week as it zipped by us on its 15 month path around the Sun. It will make close approaches to our moon in 2015, the Earth in 2015, 2018, and 2020, and to the planet Venus in 2016 and 2017. 2015 KW121 appears unlikely to strike the Earth anytime soon. If it did it would probably disintegrate in the upper atmosphere creating a sonic boom.
The other seven of this group of recent discoveries can travel relatively close to us but are no threat to planet Earth.

Recorded June 18, 2015
The idea that you have to "kiss a lot of frogs" to find true love has its roots in a more than one hundred year old Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
Frank Shelly is one of the software geniuses on my team, the NASA funded Catalina Sky Survey. His computer programs help us to find Earth approaching asteroids. Here is a summary of some of Frank's comments. Our process is to take a set of 4 images, of the same place in the sky, over about a 45 minute time interval called a field. On a typical night in each of the 190 fields we record the images of more than 10,000 stars, galaxies, planets, moons of planets, comets, artificial satellites, and asteroids of all types. To reject most of these, we use the fact that Earth approaching asteroids are among the fastest moving objects in the night sky.
We start by knowing which of the more than 500,000 known asteroids and comets are predicted to be in the field at the time it was taken. The number of known objects we find in a field ranges from 0 to more than 150 and averages about 25. That leaves about 30 suspects which are presented to the observer at the telescope for validation. She or he then decides if each candidate is likely to be a noise glitch or a real object. About 1/4 of the time the field contains a previously known Near Earth Object.
In about one out of 50 fields the observer discovers a new Earth approaching asteroid.
On an average night the observer at the telescope says "not real" more than 4000 times hence the title of this piece.

How would you like to know more about a particular star than anyone else on Earth?
The American Association of Variable Star Observers, or AAVSO as it is called, has been offering this opportunity to its members and the general public for more than one hundred years. Don't let the name fool you. The AAVSO is an international organization which is active in more than 100 countries around the world. The AAVSO even has a mentoring program to help you start on your path of discovery.
There are those stars which explode violently, some others which pulsate regularly, as well as some which look like a single point of light but are really many stars orbiting each other. Stars can have spots and flares which cause them to change in brightness. In addition there are some really strange stars which have disks of material around them. To top it off, there are varying points of light in the night sky which look like stars but have inner workings which are a complete mystery.
Members of the American Association of Variable Star observers learn about a star's personal story by observing it with the naked eye, a set of binoculars, or a small telescope equipped with an electronic camera.
Others do not observe at all but analyze data with their home computers which enable them to discover very interesting stellar properties. AAVSO members are also active in education and public outreach.

Recently my NASA funded Catalina Sky Survey teammate Carson Fuls discovered an approaching asteroid about the same size as the one whose high altitude disintegration injured nearly 1500 people in Chelyabinsk Russia in February of 2013. Fortunately this new one missed planet Earth. There is more good news. Carson spotted this small space rock about 40 hours before its closest approach to planet Earth. This means that if it had been on a collision path with our home planet we would have had time to warn people to seek shelter before it created a potentially destructive sonic boom in our atmosphere.
When Fuls discovered it this 55 foot diameter asteroid was about 150,000 miles from him and was traveling towards us a 10 miles/second. Telescopes in Arizona, Australia, Romania, Italy, and France tracked it through the night sky. The minor planet center used these observations to find its path and give it the name 2015 LF. It orbits the Sun once every 3.5 years on a path that takes it from between Earth and Venus out to 80% of the way to the planet Jupiter.
Unlike the Chelyabinsk Meteor which came at us from close to the direction of the Sun, 2015 LF approached planet Earth from a direction away from the Sun with most of its little full moon face pointing in our direction. This is the most favorable situation for asteroid hunters to be able to detect an Earth approaching object.

Juno was found by German astronomer Karl L. Harding in 1804 who noticed that to the human eye it appeared to be a star like moving point of light in the night sky. The light that Juno reflects suggests that it could be the source of stony meteorites called chondrites that we find on Earth.
Scientists have long known that every object whose temperature is above absolute zero radiates a small glow. On Earth we use this fact to construct night vision goggles and to do non invasive medical imaging of the human body.
Up until October of 2014 our knowledge of Juno was based on the light this asteroid reflects from the Sun. That all changed when astronomers pointed the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at it. This powerful group of radio dishes which is nicknamed ALMA is located about 9,500 feet above sea level in the high dry desert of northern Chile.
"In contrast to optical telescopes, which capture the reflected light from the Sun, the new ALMA images show the actual millimeter-wavelength light emitted by the asteroid," said Todd Hunter, an astronomer with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. Hunter continued stating "By using ALMA to image the thermal glow from asteroids like Juno and other bodies in our solar system, astronomers will be able to study their shape, composition, and surface properties."
Juno will make a much closer approach to us in 2018. At this range ALMA will be able to make images with the double the resolution of the previous ones. Stay tuned.

The New Mexico Skies Observatory, near the village of Mayhill, is located 7,300 feet above sea level and has world class, clear dark skies, ideal for astronomical viewing.
Recently, Leonid Elenin, a Russian astronomer, using the remotely operated ISON-NM telescope located at the Mayhill site discovered a new potentially hazardous asteroid. This telescope has previously been used to discover more than 1,500 asteroids and three comets. Leonid's most recent discovery is a potentially hazardous asteroid named 2015 LK24. Amazingly enough, he made this discovery while sitting in a control room in Moscow. This asteroid's current path allows it to come about 1/3 of the Moon's distance to us. The asteroid hunting community will need to keep track of 2015 LK24 since if it ever entered our atmosphere it would release 3 or 4 times the energy of the most powerful hydrogen bomb ever exploded.
In addition to discovering new objects the ISON-NM telescope is being used to determine the size and shape of asteroids by carefully measuring the light they reflect as they spin on their axis of rotation and move about the Sun. The size, shape, and rate of spin of an asteroid is the kind of information which humans need to prepare for the unlikely situation that a small body is found to be on a collision course with planet Earth.

Every 409 days Icarus makes a scorching approach to the Sun at which point it is less than half the distance of the planet Mercury from our star and is traveling at 58 miles per second. Icarus's close approaches to Earth always happen in June at intervals of 9, 19, and 28 years.
In 2015 Icarus made a relatively close approach to Earth at which point it was about 21 times the distance to our Moon from us. It was bright enough to be spotted by a backyard telescope equipped with an electronic camera. It was also close enough for humans to bounce RADAR beams off of it. These data will refine Icarus's orbit and may provide some images of it.
In its current orbit it never get closer than 16 times the Moon's distance from us. This is a good thing since it is nearly a mile in diameter and is traveling at 18 miles per second relative to planet Earth when it crosses our orbit.

She submitted her discovery observations to the Minor Planet Center where it was identified as a potential Earth approaching object. It was then observed by telescopes in Arizona, California, England, and New Mexico for more than a month. Dr. Bill Gray analyzed these observations and came to the conclusion that this object is not a natural Earth approaching asteroid but rather some piece of space debris. His calculations reveal this moving object's path is a lot like the INTEGRAL spacecraft and booster, however, he was not able to identify it with anything released during this mission. Dr. Gray commented "it's probably a few meters across and very light, based on how much solar radiation pressure is kicking it around".
These observations and their analysis reveal one of the complications in the asteroid hunting business. The Integral Spacecraft was launched more than a decade by the European Space Agency to observe gamma rays from celestial objects. It has given us valuable insights into the most violent events in the Universe including gamma-ray bursters and black holes.

The Chelyabinsk event has prompted people around the world to come together to learn about asteroids and what can be done to make humans safer from them. They have called their movement Asteroid Day and have held it on the anniversary of the 1908 Tunguska Event when an object impacted Earth in Siberia killing 80 million trees over an 800 square mile area. The Asteroid Day organizers call for humans to spend a billion dollars a year to make us safer from celestial threats. Some of these funds would be used to build a space based asteroid hunting telescope.
My Catalina Sky Survey team leader Eric Christensen points out that it will probably be centuries before another Chelyabinsk sized asteroid hits over a populated area and that a larger like the one the Tunguska object is not likely to impact the Earth for hundreds of years and then its landing spot is most likely to be an ocean. He also states the fact that we can do the asteroid detection work much more cheaply with the right ground based telescopes.

About 35 million years ago the Earth was impacted by two large asteroids creating the more than 50 mile diameter Popigai [pop a gay i] Crater in Russia and a similar crater in Chesapeake Bay in the USA. Analysis of fragments indicate that the impacting objects were not made of the same material. This finding has led scientists to speculate that there may be an astronomical process which changes conditions in the inner asteroid belt and causes the Earth's orbit to change slightly. This combination could have triggered the ice age which caused the first significant ice sheet in Antarctica to form and led to the last major extinction event in the Earth's history.
The Popigai Crater was created when a large asteroid crashed into the Tamyr [tim er] Peninsula in northern Siberia, Russia. This large impacting object was traveling at more than 10 miles per second. The force of impact melted thousands of cubic miles of rock spraying debris over a huge area.
The more than 50 mile diameter, one mile deep, Chesapeake Bay Crater was formed when 6 or 7 mile diameter object crashed into Earth creating a 15 story high tsunami which went inland to near the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The cooling of the Earth 35 million years ago is coincident with the impact of these two different types of asteroids one iron rich and the other iron poor. This suggests that they came from different regions in the solar system and may have been disturbed from their previous orbits by resonances in planetary orbits that can cause chaos in the solar system.

The Sutter's Mill meteorite fell to Earth April 22, 2012. Its fall was recorded by Doppler weather RADAR which indicated where fragments of it could be found. Two days later pieces of it were discovered by NASA Ames and SETI Institute meteor astronomer Peter Jenniskens. The samples he collected have resulted in more than a dozen scientific papers. In one of them, NASA scientists report having found two microscopic diamonds, in this celestial messenger, which are large enough to suggest that they were formed in the interiors of objects which existed in our solar system long ago.
About 40 years ago, diamonds were discovered in the asteroid impact Popigai [pop a gay i] Crater in Siberia. Recently some Russian Scientists began to claim that this site may contain trillions of carats of industrial diamonds some of which may be twice as hard as ordinary diamonds. So far this deposit has not proven to have economic value since synthetic industrial quality diamonds for cutting tools have been made economically by humans since the 1950s. Most of the tiny diamonds from this asteroid impact are less than the thickness of two dimes in diameter.

Currently more than 2/3 of the US population and more than 1/2 of the those people living in Europe cannot see the Milky Way or a meteor streaking through the night sky because of inappropriate outdoor lighting.

The economic impact of being night sky friendly has been demonstrated by Union County in the northeast corner of New Mexico. Union County, New Mexico has a population of slightly over 4,000 people. It is not on any heavily traveled tourist route, and it has a history of low visitor spending. Amazingly, Union County's economy received a 15.6% boost when Clayton Lake State Park was certified as a Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association. Park staff and volunteers continue to work closely with the Town of Clayton and the New Mexico State Parks system to ensure quality lighting guidelines both within the park and in the surrounding community. Being Night Sky Friendly has produced an across the board increase in local business activity in this economically depressed rural community.

In 1933 Fritz Zwicky suggested that the high speeds of galaxies in the relatively distant Coma Cluster are indicative of some type of invisible material which is pulling on them.
Nearer to home, Mercury, the planet closest to our Sun, zips along at 29 miles per second. In contrast, the much more distant Pluto orbits at a leisurely 3 miles per second . The Sun controls the orbits of these objects in this way because it has most of the mass of the solar system and is relatively compact.
In the 1970's Dr. Vera Rubin began to measure the speeds of stars in galaxies using the Doppler shift. She expected stars orbiting at different distances from the centers of spiral galaxies to behave like the planets in our solar system since for these giant star systems the luminous mass that we observe is concentrated towards their centers. To her amazement the stars near the edge of the great galaxy in Andromeda and many other spiral galaxies are moving at speeds which indicate that these galaxies contain ten times the amount of mass that emits radiation which is visible to us. It was at this point that Dr. Rubin realized that she had discovered compelling evidence to support Zwicky's dark matter hypothesis.
Picking up the torch, a high school student, Theodora Mautz has received the Young Astronomer Award from the Astronomical League for her investigation of the possible effect of dark matter on globular clusters orbiting our Milky Way Galaxy.

In the early 1990's, technology gave astronomers electronic detectors 30 times more sensitive than the photographic film that Clyde Tombaugh used to search for and find Pluto. Armed with these new detectors and powerful computers scientists began to discover many new objects in the far reaches of our solar system. In 1992, Dr. Dave Jewitt and Dr. Jane Luu from the University of Hawaii discovered, 1992 QB1 which turned out to be a small object orbiting the Sun at about the same distance as the Planet Pluto.

After 9 years, 3 billion miles, and 18 sleeping periods NASA gave a wake up call to the New Horizons when it was 135 million miles from the Pluto system. After more than 8 hours of waiting, NASA engineers were ecstatic to receive a message from the New Horizons stating that "I am fine and ready to go forward with an encounter with Pluto".
The Sun at Pluto's distance is 1500 times fainter than it is to us on Earth and Pluto has a surface temperature of 370 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. These two facts might lead one to believe that the frozen surface of this distant world has changed little over the eons and should be pock marked with craters from impacts it has received over its 4.5 billion year history. Instead of this situation New Horizons has found regions on this distant world which are entirely free of craters. One of them, the Tombaugh Regio, is about 1000 miles across and has no craters at all making its surface only about 30% older than the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Pluto's weird geology is driven by the fact that at -370F water ice is as strong as rocks are on Earth creating ice mountains more than 11,000 feet high. We can only guess at what might be powering these recent surface changes.
Because New New Horizons has a low power transmitter and is at an incredible distance from Earth it will need more than a year to send all of its data from the Pluto encounter back to its human creators.

171-Planet's Airglow
Published PRX August 6 , 2015
Recorded July 29, 2015
At the few remaining natural night sky viewing locations on Earth the horizon has a faint glow in every direction. Near the magnetic poles, this night glow appears to join with the relatively bright higher altitude aurora which covers larger portions of the sky and exhibits beautiful colors including green and red. Green light is the strongest component of the Earth' airglow and comes from oxygen atoms which have become energized by our Sun.
The planet Venus is similar to the Earth in many ways. It also also displays striking differences. One of these is that Venus does not have an internally generated magnetic field but rather a weak one produced by the solar wind. Astronomers have long puzzled over this weak magnetic field and the unexpected occurrence of a faint sporadic green night glow on our sister planet.
Recently Dr. Candace Gray earned a PhD from New Mexico State University for her work to observe and understand Venus's mysterious green airglow and suggesting this is likely a global aurora about non-magnetic planets that occurs only after solar storms. By using observations from Apache Point Observatory and spacecraft orbiting Venus to fuel atmospheric model calculations she has been able to connect Venus's enigmatic green line to mass burps from solar storms on our Sun.
Dr. Gray's work helps to better understand our own planet by comparing it with one of our neighbors in space.

The one thousand six hundred and second potentially hazardous asteroid was discovered by the Pan-STARRS group in Hawaii. Followup observations were made by telescopes in Hawaii, France, Australia, Italy, Germany, and Pennsylvania. The Minor Planet Center used these vital observations to calculate an orbit and gave it the name 2015 OC22.
2015 OC22 is about 1200 feet in diameter. Fortunately, on its current path, it can't come closer than about 10 times the Moon's distance from us. An asteroid this size probably strikes the Earth every 100,000 years or so making a crater 3 to 4 miles in diameter. This particular asteroid's orbit crosses the paths of Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury. It takes a bit over 3 years to make a single trip around the Sun. In the past, it has made close approaches to the Earth in 1963 and 2012 and Mercury in 1972.
In 2015 this potentially hazardous asteroid will pass near Mercury and come a distant one third of the Sun's distance from us. It will make close approaches to Mercury in 2024 and 2068 and the Earth in 2055 and 2095. The asteroid hunting community will continue to monitor 2015 OC22's orbit for any changes which might occur. 2015 OC22 will continue to move through the inner solar system until it collides with another celestial object in the far distant future.

Since the dawn of our race, it is likely that humans have looked into the night sky and wondered if they are alone in the Universe on a unique planet.
The NASA Kepler spacecraft has discovered more than a thousand planets orbiting distant stars. Very recently this effort has revealed a planet, called Kepler-452b, to be orbiting a star very similar to our Sun at a distance that would allow for the possibility of liquid water on its surface. Additional observations by Earth bound telescopes in Texas, Arizona, and Hawaii have proved to be vital in determining the temperature and age of Kepler-452b's star. Computer models of how solar systems form suggest that this newly discovered planet could have a rocky surface At Kepler-452b's distance of more than 1,400 light years, it is a challenge to develop the techniques to measure this Earth like planet's mass and atmospheric composition. The NASA James Webb Space Telescope which is scheduled to be launched in this decade is a powerful step in that direction.
Kepler-452b has spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star. In the 4.5 billion years of the Earth's history the parade of more than 5 billion species has included single cell organisms, various multi cellular life forms, land plants, dinosaurs, mammals, birds, flowers, and humans to name a few. It is mind blowing to consider what kind of life forms might exist on a planet which is 1.5 billion years older than mother Earth.

174-Fascinating Europa
Published PRX August 13 , 2015
Recorded August 9, 2015
You can spot Europa with almost any small telescope as a moving point of light orbiting the planet Jupiter just like Galileo Galilei did 400 years ago. Of the 4 moons which you will see Europa is the one second closest to Jupiter.
As Europa orbits the giant planet Jupiter on an elliptical path, it is stretched and flexed by tidal forces which heat its interior. This continuous flexing heats Europa in a way which is similar to the way that automobile tires are heated as your car rolls down the highway. The effect on Europa is so strong that it likely creates volcanic activity in the rocky layers far below its icy surface. Measurements made by passing spacecraft strongly suggest that Europa has a salty ocean, covered by a thick layer of ice, which may contain more water than all of the Earth's oceans put together. A sighting by the Hubble Space Telescope of plumes of water erupting from Europa give a further indication of the possibility of a subsurface ocean on this distant world.
On Earth there are places on the ocean floor where volcanic activity from below creates what are called hydrothermal zones where water and rock meet at high temperature. These local environments are rich with diverse life forms which are sustained by energy and nutrients which are created as seawater interacts with the warm rocky ocean floor.
If as the data suggest, Europa has a liquid salt water ocean in direct contact with warm rock layers then the key ingredients for life .. liquid water, nutrients, and a source of energy are all together in one place.

Currently the majority of the Earth Approaching objects are found by my team, the Catalina Sky Survey or the Pan STARRs group in Hawaii. Both employ large telescopes, very expensive electronic cameras, and high powered computer systems. However, an expert observer with a small 12 inch telescope and an electronic detector can still make interesting discoveries.
Recently Gennady Borisov observed a fast moving point of light in the night sky using a 0.3m telescope and an electronic camera. This new object was subsequently observed by 20 other observatories around the world. The Minor Planet Center used these data to calculate an orbit and gave it the name 2015 OH. At the time Borisov discovered this object it was 13 million miles from Earth.
2015 OH is more than 1100 feet in diameter. It orbits the Sun every 1.52 years on a path that takes it from near Earth to a bit past Mars. Fortunately this Earth approaching asteroid's current path never brings it closer than 32 times the Moon's distance from us. This space rock made close approaches to Earth in 2012 and 2015 and will come our way again in 2018 and 2021. In 2015 this asteroid approached Earth from the south. It streaked north through the night sky until it was viewable in the northern hemisphere where most of the asteroid hunting telescopes are located.
To his credit, Gennady Borisov an alert observer in the Ukraine was able to spot and report 2015 OH before anyone else.

176-Weird Life
Published PRX August 21 , 2015
Recorded August 9, 2015
Our everyday world is in the thin web of life that surrounds our planet. We see living organisms made possible by solar energy, water, air, and nutrients from the Earth. Maybe all living creatures are not in an environment similar to ours. When looking for life in other places in the Universe we can take some clues from living systems in extreme environments on our own planet.
Currently, scientists are investigating some of the weirdest and toughest places to live on planet Earth. One of these is is near volcanic hotspots on the ocean floor. A mile and a half or more below the sea level the pressure is more than 100 times higher than on the surface, there is total darkness, and the water temperature can reach more than 400 degrees Celsius. With no sunlight to power them, this seemingly hostile environment is rich with living creatures from microbes to huge tube worms. These strange and other world like creatures receive their energy and nutrients from the warm water produced by nearby searingly hot volcanic vents.
In our world the food chain is powered by the Sun. A key to understanding deep ocean life and perhaps that on other worlds is the food chain which exists in total darkness near the sea floor.
We suspect that conditions in the salty oceans of the moon of Jupiter, Europa could possibly be similar to the areas around deep sea volcanic vents on the ocean floor of planet Earth. It bends our imaginations to consider what might live there.

For 16 years, since its discovery at Lowell Observatory, humans knew 1999 JD6 only as a strange, spinning, moving point of light in the night sky. It orbits the Sun once every 303 days on a path that brings it relatively close to Mercury, Venus, and Earth. In the far distant future this small world is likely to collide with one of these planets, or the Sun, or be ejected completely from the solar system.
This mile in diameter asteroid came close to Mercury in 1990 and the Earth and Venus in 2015.
1999 JD6 actually comes much closer to Venus than it does to Earth. We will need to keep track of this one to make sure that its orbit is not changed by one of these encounters to make it come closer to our home planet.
Recently NASA researchers projected a RADAR beam from Goldstone, California, bounced this signal off of asteroid 1999 JD6 as it zipped past the Earth, and collected the radio waves it reflected with a large radio dish near Greenback, West Virginia.
The reflected radio waves were used to create a movie of 1999 JD6 as it spins on its axis of rotation every seven and a half hours. This RADAR movie reveals 1999 JD6 to be two asteroids in contact with each other giving the object a peanut shape. Strangely enough 1 in 6 Earth approaching objects are like 1999 JD6 in that they are really two separate objects whose tiny forces of gravity keep them in contact as they orbit the Sun.

Recorded August 26, 2015
Imagine a monster telescope that can collect 37 million times more light than can enter your eye. A huge telescope with this capability, planned by the European scientific community, will sit atop a 10,000 foot high mountain in the high dry desert of northern Chile.
The construction of this new facility started in 2014 and is scheduled to be completed in 2024.
The design of this new telescope promises to deliver objects 15 times fainter than currently operating very large telescopes. The images will be much sharper than are currently being obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope.
The data obtained by the planned extremely large telescope are likely to reveal interesting details of how the Universe began and how it might end.
The largest telescopes currently on Earth have imaged planets circling other stars but are unable to tell us much about the small rocky exoplanets. The new European monster telescope will allow scientists to discover water and organic molecules in the atmospheres of the Earth sized planets orbiting other stars. This new telescope will also probe solar systems in formation to discover how the building blocks of our world came together.
Closer to home a telescope with these capabilities will allow researchers to measure the size and composition of objects which come near to planet Earth.
When humans come up with a new capability to view the Universe exciting discoveries are a result. Stay tuned.

"I do not know how I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy, playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself, in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
"Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things"
These are only two of the quotes attributed to Sir Isaac Newton.
Isaac Newton's ideas about the physical world and mathematics continue to touch our lives every day in situations ranging from a game of pool, to the braking of our automobile, to the construction of eye-glasses, to reflecting telescopes large and small, to following the path of the New Horizons spacecraft as it explores the distant reaches of our solar system to name a few.
Newton also spent substantial thought and effort on alchemy and the occult. His efforts to understand the materials which surround us were at a time when Chemistry was beginning to emerge as a science and were thus a mixture of what we would consider to be science and magic. Newton suffered a nervous breakdown after a fire, purportedly started by his dog diamond, destroyed his alchemy laboratory and much of his writings on the subject.
Nearly 300 years after his death, Isaac Newton's contributions to mathematics and the physical science continue to be relevant to many situations from the flight of an airplane to the colors of the rainbow.

180-An Eternal One
Published PRX September 3,2015
Recorded August 26, 2015
In the Kansas song "Dust In The Wind" , a very memorable line is "Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the Earth and Sky". Scientists predict that not even the Earth and Sky will last forever but are likely to be destroyed when the Sun becomes a red giant.
In 2013 my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Richard Kowalski found a faint moving point of light in the night sky. After his discovery observations were posted on the Minor Planet Center's website it was observed by 10 other telescopes around the world and given the name 2013 US10. It has taken additional observations to reveal that Kowalski's object is not an asteroid but rather a comet which will come closest to the Sun on November 15, 2015. After that its speed will be so great that it will leave our solar system never to return.
The brightness of a comet is difficult to predict with accuracy. In August of 2015, Comet C/2013 US10 is bright enough to be seen with binoculars. From late November of 2015 and into January 2016 it may bright enough to be visible to the unaided eye. Seiichi Yoshida has created and published finding maps on the web which will help you to locate Comet C/2013 US10 (Catalina). In 2028 it will pass Pluto's average distance from the Sun.
Its path is not in the direction of any known star making it likely that it will continue its cold lonely journey till the end of time.
