11264 claudiomaccone, provisional designation 1979 uc4, is a stony background asteroid and binary system from the middle regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 3 kilometers in diameter.it was discovered 16 october 1979, by nikolai chernykh at crimean astrophysical observatory in nauchnyj, on the crimean peninsula.it was named after the italian astronomer claudio maccone.its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.23 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.claudiomaccone comes closer to mars than to the other planets, repeatedly approaching the red planet as close as 0.47 au (70,300,000 km).in 2096 it makes a very rare approach to 65 gm.a first precovery was taken at palomar observatory in 1950, extending the body's observation arc by 29 years prior to its official discovery observation.lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 3.1872 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.15 magnitude (u=n.a.).an identical period with an amplitude of 0.12 magnitude, was also published by petr pravec in 2006.after the binary nature of claudiomaccone was announced (see below), follow-up observations by a group of french, swiss and italian astronomers (including claudio maccone) in 2008 and 2012, gave a period 3.1873 and 3.18701 hours with an amplitude of 0.16 and 0.12 magnitude, respectively (u=2/2+).an identical orbital period is also given by pravec.the discovery was announced in december 2005, and the moon was provisionally designated s/2003 (11264) 1.based on a secondary to primary mean-diameter ratio of larger than 0.31, the moon's diameter is estimated to be at least 1.24 kilometers.its orbit around claudiomaccone has an estimated semi-major axis of 6 kilometers.in his book the sun as a gravitational lens: proposed space missions he proposed the construction and launch of a spacecraft–antenna, called the focal space mission.outside the solar system, at a distance of 550 au, focal could have a significantly better sensitivity detecting radio signals due to the sun's magnifying gravitational lensing effect, as predicted by general relativity.the official naming citation was published on 2 september 2001 (m.p.c.43382; 54279 and *35557).in 2012, he succeed american astronomer seth shostak as chairman of the seti permanent committee at the international academy of astronautics.), stanford university, april 2016 asteroids with satellites, robert johnston, johnstonsarchive.net asteroid lightcurve database (lcdb), query form (info archived 2017-12-16 at the wayback machine) dictionary of minor planet names, google books asteroids and comets rotation curves, cdr – observatoire de genève, raoul behrend discovery circumstances: numbered minor planets (10001)-(15000) – minor planet center 11264 claudiomaccone at the jpl small-body database | 11264 claudiomaccone | orbitalperiod | 1513722 days | no related information |
alison o'donnell (born 5 october 1952) is an irish musician, solo and band singer-songwriter.born alison bools in dublin to an english mother and irish father, raised in dalkey and educated at holy child killiney.ballet and sporting activities were early interests until the age of 11 when music became her abiding passion.her commitment was sealed when she took cecilia as her confirmation name (saint cecilia being the patron saint of musicians).at the age of 11 she co-founded the progressive folk rock band mellow candle with school friends clodagh simonds and maria white.they released their first single, feeling high on snb records (simon napier-bell) in 1968.this was followed by a secretarial course and employment until a full electric line-up of mellow candle reformed.the band lived and worked in ireland and england between 1969 and 1973 managed by thin lizzy manager, ted carroll.o'donnell and williams spent their wedding evening in concert with thin lizzy at the national stadium in dublin.bob geldof, luke kelly and members of clannad were amongst early spectators at irish concerts, and several members of the group participated in house sessions with pioneering traditional musicians, dónal lunny and andy irvine.the band released their latterly highly acclaimed, cult album, swaddling songs on decca records's deram subsidiary in 1972.the untimely and unhappy demise of mellow candle and the tough economic climate of the three-day week in 1973/74 london sent o'donnell and williams to johannesburg, south africa.simonds and murray ultimately went to new york, and boylan joined the gary moore band for a time.in the year before their departure they played belgian bars as a folk duo and formed a short-lived band with legendary guitarist jimmy faulkner, who died in 2008.disenchanted by hard drug use backstage, they abandoned the project.two years after their arrival in south africa the couple participated in palet, an afrikaans music and poetry programme in 1976 for the fledgling south african broadcasting corporation's television service.the show was considered too radical and highbrow, and never aired, resulting in the producer's resignation.they formed traditional group flibbertigibbet in 1977 with barrie glenn and jo dudding whom they met at mangles folk club.the band recorded their vinyl album, whistling jigs to the moon in 1978 in south africa for a slim, niche market, and made several appearances on satv.the recording was more fully appreciated and reissued in 1996.after the break-up of flibbertigibbet in 1979 o'donnell worked as a session singer for singer-songwriters and advertising agency recordings, toured in the musical i'm getting my act together and taking it on the road produced by des and dawn lindberg, and performed in a series of satirical revues in 1980/81 with south african actors and musicians: tortue revues i and ii in rockey street's famed 80s clubs, and fool marks and commit no nuisance at the chelsea hotel hillbrow with music by david marks (songwriter, producer and archivist), who had earlier given flibbertigibbet their first run at the market theatre in johannesburg.in the early to mid-80s o'donnell appeared briefly with jazz group theta and an early incarnation of the popular rock group ella mental at sun city.she recorded an album with writer/producer terry dempsey's band, plastik mak, which included his hit song daydreamer and performed in after-show cabaret with musician/actress michelle maxwell and on the folk club stage with blues/folk guitarist mike dickman.she also appeared regularly with singer-songwriters colin shamley and roger lucey, guesting on their respective albums.during this period she assisted in running the door for club le chaim, which featured musicians opposed to the apartheid regime. | alison o'donnell musician | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | plastik mak <tsp> alison o'donnell musician | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | flibbertigibbet | after the break-up of flibbertigibbet in 1979 o'donnell worked as a session singer for singer-songwriters and advertising agency recordings, toured in the musical i'm getting my act together and taking it on the road produced by des and dawn lindberg, and performed in a series of satirical revues in 1980/81 with south african actors and musicians: tortue revues i and ii in rockey street's famed 80s clubs, and fool marks and commit no nuisance at the chelsea hotel hillbrow with music by david marks (songwriter, producer and archivist), who had earlier given flibbertigibbet their first run at the market theatre in johannesburg. |
apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. | apollo 12 | operator | nasa | the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. |

alison o'donnell (born 5 october 1952) is an irish musician, solo and band singer-songwriter.born alison bools in dublin to an english mother and irish father, raised in dalkey and educated at holy child killiney.ballet and sporting activities were early interests until the age of 11 when music became her abiding passion.her commitment was sealed when she took cecilia as her confirmation name (saint cecilia being the patron saint of musicians).at the age of 11 she co-founded the progressive folk rock band mellow candle with school friends clodagh simonds and maria white.they released their first single, feeling high on snb records (simon napier-bell) in 1968.this was followed by a secretarial course and employment until a full electric line-up of mellow candle reformed.the band lived and worked in ireland and england between 1969 and 1973 managed by thin lizzy manager, ted carroll.o'donnell and williams spent their wedding evening in concert with thin lizzy at the national stadium in dublin.bob geldof, luke kelly and members of clannad were amongst early spectators at irish concerts, and several members of the group participated in house sessions with pioneering traditional musicians, dónal lunny and andy irvine.the band released their latterly highly acclaimed, cult album, swaddling songs on decca records's deram subsidiary in 1972.the untimely and unhappy demise of mellow candle and the tough economic climate of the three-day week in 1973/74 london sent o'donnell and williams to johannesburg, south africa.simonds and murray ultimately went to new york, and boylan joined the gary moore band for a time.in the year before their departure they played belgian bars as a folk duo and formed a short-lived band with legendary guitarist jimmy faulkner, who died in 2008.disenchanted by hard drug use backstage, they abandoned the project.two years after their arrival in south africa the couple participated in palet, an afrikaans music and poetry programme in 1976 for the fledgling south african broadcasting corporation's television service.the show was considered too radical and highbrow, and never aired, resulting in the producer's resignation.they formed traditional group flibbertigibbet in 1977 with barrie glenn and jo dudding whom they met at mangles folk club.the band recorded their vinyl album, whistling jigs to the moon in 1978 in south africa for a slim, niche market, and made several appearances on satv.the recording was more fully appreciated and reissued in 1996.after the break-up of flibbertigibbet in 1979 o'donnell worked as a session singer for singer-songwriters and advertising agency recordings, toured in the musical i'm getting my act together and taking it on the road produced by des and dawn lindberg, and performed in a series of satirical revues in 1980/81 with south african actors and musicians: tortue revues i and ii in rockey street's famed 80s clubs, and fool marks and commit no nuisance at the chelsea hotel hillbrow with music by david marks (songwriter, producer and archivist), who had earlier given flibbertigibbet their first run at the market theatre in johannesburg.in the early to mid-80s o'donnell appeared briefly with jazz group theta and an early incarnation of the popular rock group ella mental at sun city.she recorded an album with writer/producer terry dempsey's band, plastik mak, which included his hit song daydreamer and performed in after-show cabaret with musician/actress michelle maxwell and on the folk club stage with blues/folk guitarist mike dickman.she also appeared regularly with singer-songwriters colin shamley and roger lucey, guesting on their respective albums.during this period she assisted in running the door for club le chaim, which featured musicians opposed to the apartheid regime. | alison o'donnell musician | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | plastik mak <tsp> alison o'donnell musician | associatedband/associatedmusicalartist | mellow candle | the band released their latterly highly acclaimed, cult album, swaddling songs on decca records's deram subsidiary in 1972.the untimely and unhappy demise of mellow candle and the tough economic climate of the three-day week in 1973/74 london sent o'donnell and williams to johannesburg, south africa. |
apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. | apollo 12 | operator | nasa | the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. |

11264 claudiomaccone, provisional designation 1979 uc4, is a stony background asteroid and binary system from the middle regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 3 kilometers in diameter.it was discovered 16 october 1979, by nikolai chernykh at crimean astrophysical observatory in nauchnyj, on the crimean peninsula.it was named after the italian astronomer claudio maccone.its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.23 and an inclination of 4° with respect to the ecliptic.claudiomaccone comes closer to mars than to the other planets, repeatedly approaching the red planet as close as 0.47 au (70,300,000 km).in 2096 it makes a very rare approach to 65 gm.a first precovery was taken at palomar observatory in 1950, extending the body's observation arc by 29 years prior to its official discovery observation.lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 3.1872 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.15 magnitude (u=n.a.).an identical period with an amplitude of 0.12 magnitude, was also published by petr pravec in 2006.after the binary nature of claudiomaccone was announced (see below), follow-up observations by a group of french, swiss and italian astronomers (including claudio maccone) in 2008 and 2012, gave a period 3.1873 and 3.18701 hours with an amplitude of 0.16 and 0.12 magnitude, respectively (u=2/2+).an identical orbital period is also given by pravec.the discovery was announced in december 2005, and the moon was provisionally designated s/2003 (11264) 1.based on a secondary to primary mean-diameter ratio of larger than 0.31, the moon's diameter is estimated to be at least 1.24 kilometers.its orbit around claudiomaccone has an estimated semi-major axis of 6 kilometers.in his book the sun as a gravitational lens: proposed space missions he proposed the construction and launch of a spacecraft–antenna, called the focal space mission.outside the solar system, at a distance of 550 au, focal could have a significantly better sensitivity detecting radio signals due to the sun's magnifying gravitational lensing effect, as predicted by general relativity.the official naming citation was published on 2 september 2001 (m.p.c.43382; 54279 and *35557).in 2012, he succeed american astronomer seth shostak as chairman of the seti permanent committee at the international academy of astronautics.), stanford university, april 2016 asteroids with satellites, robert johnston, johnstonsarchive.net asteroid lightcurve database (lcdb), query form (info archived 2017-12-16 at the wayback machine) dictionary of minor planet names, google books asteroids and comets rotation curves, cdr – observatoire de genève, raoul behrend discovery circumstances: numbered minor planets (10001)-(15000) – minor planet center 11264 claudiomaccone at the jpl small-body database | leukocytes | infinitively | betuckered <tsp> leukocytes | tomentum | anomaloscope | no related information |

apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. | aramaism | acmaea | whalebacker <tsp> aramaism | boongary | predaytime | no related information |

james craig watson (january 28, 1838 – november 22, 1880) was a canadian-american astronomer, discoverer of comets and minor planets, director of the university of michigan's detroit observatory in ann arbor, and awarded with the lalande prize in 1869.his family relocated to ann arbor, michigan in 1850.at age 15 he was matriculated at the university of michigan, where he studied the classical languages.he graduated with a ba in 1857 and received a master's degree on examination after two years' study in astronomy under professor franz brünnow.he became professor of physics and instructor in mathematics, and in 1863, succeeded him as professor of astronomy and director of the detroit observatory.he wrote the textbook theoretical astronomy, published in 1868 by j.b. lippincott & co.the textbook was a standard reference work for over thirty years.he discovered 22 asteroids, beginning with 79 eurynome in 1863.one of his asteroid discoveries, 139 juewa was made in beijing when watson was there to observe the 1874 transit of venus.the name juewa was chosen by chinese officials (瑞華, or in modern pinyin, ruìhuá).another was 121 hermione in 1872, from ann arbor, michigan, and this asteroid was found to have a small asteroid moon in 2002.he was a member of the most important expeditions for astronomical observation sent out by the united states government during his time.the first was an expedition to observe the eclipse of the sun at mount pleasant, iowa, in 1869; the second of a similar expedition to sicily, in 1870; the third to beijing, china, to observe the transit of venus in 1874; the fourth to wyoming, to observe the total eclipse of the sun in 1878.he was a strong believer in the existence of the planet vulcan, a hypothetical planet closer to the sun than mercury, which is now known not to exist (however the existence of small vulcanoid planetoids remains a possibility).he believed he had seen such two such planets during his observation of the 1878 solar eclipse.in 1879, after attempts by the university to retain him, watson resigned his professorship at ann arbor to accept a position the university of wisconsin, where he hoped to find superior apparatus and instruments for the difficult observations which he had planned.seeking to silence critics who doubted his claims to have discovered vulcan, he also personally paid to construct an underground observatory, in a misguided attempt to observe planets in the daytime.this was based on the idea that stars could be seen during the day from the bottom of a well, which is an ancient myth but verifiably incorrect.(it is not merely direct glare from the sun that hides the stars, but scattered light from the atmosphere above the well.)watson died of peritonitis at the age of 42 and was buried at forest hill, ann arbor.he had amassed a considerable fortune through non-astronomical business activities and, by bequest, established the james craig watson medal, awarded every two years by the national academy of sciences for contributions to astronomy.his successor, edward holden, completed watson's underground observatory, but declared it useless after he found not even the brightest stars could be observed.this obsession, in the view of the university of michigan's first president, henry philip tappan, led watson to do nothing while serving as director of the detroit observatory during brünnow's brief absence from 1859 to 1860.brünnow had gone to the dudley observatory as associate director in albany, new york, but he was called back to direct the detroit observatory by the regents.the return of brünnow so infuriated watson that watson contacted local life insurance agencies in ann arbor and became a life insurance actuary, where he made some extra money. | nonnaturally | understuff | symbolater <tsp> nonnaturally | homewardly | smilemaker | no related information |

apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. | voluntarious | pillageable | tannable <tsp> voluntarious | carpolite | strawing | no related information |

apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. | apollo 8 | crewmembers | frank borman | no related information |

james craig watson (january 28, 1838 – november 22, 1880) was a canadian-american astronomer, discoverer of comets and minor planets, director of the university of michigan's detroit observatory in ann arbor, and awarded with the lalande prize in 1869.his family relocated to ann arbor, michigan in 1850.at age 15 he was matriculated at the university of michigan, where he studied the classical languages.he graduated with a ba in 1857 and received a master's degree on examination after two years' study in astronomy under professor franz brünnow.he became professor of physics and instructor in mathematics, and in 1863, succeeded him as professor of astronomy and director of the detroit observatory.he wrote the textbook theoretical astronomy, published in 1868 by j.b. lippincott & co.the textbook was a standard reference work for over thirty years.he discovered 22 asteroids, beginning with 79 eurynome in 1863.one of his asteroid discoveries, 139 juewa was made in beijing when watson was there to observe the 1874 transit of venus.the name juewa was chosen by chinese officials (瑞華, or in modern pinyin, ruìhuá).another was 121 hermione in 1872, from ann arbor, michigan, and this asteroid was found to have a small asteroid moon in 2002.he was a member of the most important expeditions for astronomical observation sent out by the united states government during his time.the first was an expedition to observe the eclipse of the sun at mount pleasant, iowa, in 1869; the second of a similar expedition to sicily, in 1870; the third to beijing, china, to observe the transit of venus in 1874; the fourth to wyoming, to observe the total eclipse of the sun in 1878.he was a strong believer in the existence of the planet vulcan, a hypothetical planet closer to the sun than mercury, which is now known not to exist (however the existence of small vulcanoid planetoids remains a possibility).he believed he had seen such two such planets during his observation of the 1878 solar eclipse.in 1879, after attempts by the university to retain him, watson resigned his professorship at ann arbor to accept a position the university of wisconsin, where he hoped to find superior apparatus and instruments for the difficult observations which he had planned.seeking to silence critics who doubted his claims to have discovered vulcan, he also personally paid to construct an underground observatory, in a misguided attempt to observe planets in the daytime.this was based on the idea that stars could be seen during the day from the bottom of a well, which is an ancient myth but verifiably incorrect.(it is not merely direct glare from the sun that hides the stars, but scattered light from the atmosphere above the well.)watson died of peritonitis at the age of 42 and was buried at forest hill, ann arbor.he had amassed a considerable fortune through non-astronomical business activities and, by bequest, established the james craig watson medal, awarded every two years by the national academy of sciences for contributions to astronomy.his successor, edward holden, completed watson's underground observatory, but declared it useless after he found not even the brightest stars could be observed.this obsession, in the view of the university of michigan's first president, henry philip tappan, led watson to do nothing while serving as director of the detroit observatory during brünnow's brief absence from 1859 to 1860.brünnow had gone to the dudley observatory as associate director in albany, new york, but he was called back to direct the detroit observatory by the regents.the return of brünnow so infuriated watson that watson contacted local life insurance agencies in ann arbor and became a life insurance actuary, where he made some extra money. | funambulist | hypochlorous | trioleate | no related information |

apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. | asparamic | lacertilian | overdeliberating <tsp> asparamic | antenniform | sievelikeness | no related information |

james craig watson (january 28, 1838 – november 22, 1880) was a canadian-american astronomer, discoverer of comets and minor planets, director of the university of michigan's detroit observatory in ann arbor, and awarded with the lalande prize in 1869.his family relocated to ann arbor, michigan in 1850.at age 15 he was matriculated at the university of michigan, where he studied the classical languages.he graduated with a ba in 1857 and received a master's degree on examination after two years' study in astronomy under professor franz brünnow.he became professor of physics and instructor in mathematics, and in 1863, succeeded him as professor of astronomy and director of the detroit observatory.he wrote the textbook theoretical astronomy, published in 1868 by j.b. lippincott & co.the textbook was a standard reference work for over thirty years.he discovered 22 asteroids, beginning with 79 eurynome in 1863.one of his asteroid discoveries, 139 juewa was made in beijing when watson was there to observe the 1874 transit of venus.the name juewa was chosen by chinese officials (瑞華, or in modern pinyin, ruìhuá).another was 121 hermione in 1872, from ann arbor, michigan, and this asteroid was found to have a small asteroid moon in 2002.he was a member of the most important expeditions for astronomical observation sent out by the united states government during his time.the first was an expedition to observe the eclipse of the sun at mount pleasant, iowa, in 1869; the second of a similar expedition to sicily, in 1870; the third to beijing, china, to observe the transit of venus in 1874; the fourth to wyoming, to observe the total eclipse of the sun in 1878.he was a strong believer in the existence of the planet vulcan, a hypothetical planet closer to the sun than mercury, which is now known not to exist (however the existence of small vulcanoid planetoids remains a possibility).he believed he had seen such two such planets during his observation of the 1878 solar eclipse.in 1879, after attempts by the university to retain him, watson resigned his professorship at ann arbor to accept a position the university of wisconsin, where he hoped to find superior apparatus and instruments for the difficult observations which he had planned.seeking to silence critics who doubted his claims to have discovered vulcan, he also personally paid to construct an underground observatory, in a misguided attempt to observe planets in the daytime.this was based on the idea that stars could be seen during the day from the bottom of a well, which is an ancient myth but verifiably incorrect.(it is not merely direct glare from the sun that hides the stars, but scattered light from the atmosphere above the well.)watson died of peritonitis at the age of 42 and was buried at forest hill, ann arbor.he had amassed a considerable fortune through non-astronomical business activities and, by bequest, established the james craig watson medal, awarded every two years by the national academy of sciences for contributions to astronomy.his successor, edward holden, completed watson's underground observatory, but declared it useless after he found not even the brightest stars could be observed.this obsession, in the view of the university of michigan's first president, henry philip tappan, led watson to do nothing while serving as director of the detroit observatory during brünnow's brief absence from 1859 to 1860.brünnow had gone to the dudley observatory as associate director in albany, new york, but he was called back to direct the detroit observatory by the regents.the return of brünnow so infuriated watson that watson contacted local life insurance agencies in ann arbor and became a life insurance actuary, where he made some extra money. | carafon | immoveability | atlatl <tsp> carafon | mumbo | overween | no related information |

apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. | apollo 8 | crewmembers | frank borman | no related information |

james craig watson (january 28, 1838 – november 22, 1880) was a canadian-american astronomer, discoverer of comets and minor planets, director of the university of michigan's detroit observatory in ann arbor, and awarded with the lalande prize in 1869.his family relocated to ann arbor, michigan in 1850.at age 15 he was matriculated at the university of michigan, where he studied the classical languages.he graduated with a ba in 1857 and received a master's degree on examination after two years' study in astronomy under professor franz brünnow.he became professor of physics and instructor in mathematics, and in 1863, succeeded him as professor of astronomy and director of the detroit observatory.he wrote the textbook theoretical astronomy, published in 1868 by j.b. lippincott & co.the textbook was a standard reference work for over thirty years.he discovered 22 asteroids, beginning with 79 eurynome in 1863.one of his asteroid discoveries, 139 juewa was made in beijing when watson was there to observe the 1874 transit of venus.the name juewa was chosen by chinese officials (瑞華, or in modern pinyin, ruìhuá).another was 121 hermione in 1872, from ann arbor, michigan, and this asteroid was found to have a small asteroid moon in 2002.he was a member of the most important expeditions for astronomical observation sent out by the united states government during his time.the first was an expedition to observe the eclipse of the sun at mount pleasant, iowa, in 1869; the second of a similar expedition to sicily, in 1870; the third to beijing, china, to observe the transit of venus in 1874; the fourth to wyoming, to observe the total eclipse of the sun in 1878.he was a strong believer in the existence of the planet vulcan, a hypothetical planet closer to the sun than mercury, which is now known not to exist (however the existence of small vulcanoid planetoids remains a possibility).he believed he had seen such two such planets during his observation of the 1878 solar eclipse.in 1879, after attempts by the university to retain him, watson resigned his professorship at ann arbor to accept a position the university of wisconsin, where he hoped to find superior apparatus and instruments for the difficult observations which he had planned.seeking to silence critics who doubted his claims to have discovered vulcan, he also personally paid to construct an underground observatory, in a misguided attempt to observe planets in the daytime.this was based on the idea that stars could be seen during the day from the bottom of a well, which is an ancient myth but verifiably incorrect.(it is not merely direct glare from the sun that hides the stars, but scattered light from the atmosphere above the well.)watson died of peritonitis at the age of 42 and was buried at forest hill, ann arbor.he had amassed a considerable fortune through non-astronomical business activities and, by bequest, established the james craig watson medal, awarded every two years by the national academy of sciences for contributions to astronomy.his successor, edward holden, completed watson's underground observatory, but declared it useless after he found not even the brightest stars could be observed.this obsession, in the view of the university of michigan's first president, henry philip tappan, led watson to do nothing while serving as director of the detroit observatory during brünnow's brief absence from 1859 to 1860.brünnow had gone to the dudley observatory as associate director in albany, new york, but he was called back to direct the detroit observatory by the regents.the return of brünnow so infuriated watson that watson contacted local life insurance agencies in ann arbor and became a life insurance actuary, where he made some extra money. | expede | gallipot | satiricalness | no related information |

apollo 1, initially designated as-204, was the first crewed mission of the apollo program, the american undertaking to land the first man on the moon.it was planned to launch on february 21, 1967, as the first low earth orbital test of the apollo command and service module.the mission never flew; a cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test at cape kennedy air force station launch complex 34 on january 27 killed all three crew members—command pilot gus grissom, senior pilot ed white, and pilot roger b. chaffee—and destroyed the command module (cm).the name apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by nasa in their honor after the fire.immediately after the fire, nasa convened an accident review board to determine the cause of the fire, and both chambers of the united states congress conducted their own committee inquiries to oversee nasa's investigation.the ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere.rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened against the internal pressure of the cabin.because the rocket was unfueled, the test had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor.during the congressional investigation, senator walter mondale publicly revealed a nasa internal document citing problems with prime apollo contractor north american aviation, which became known as the phillips report.this disclosure embarrassed nasa administrator james e. webb, who was unaware of the document's existence, and attracted controversy to the apollo program.despite congressional displeasure at nasa's lack of openness, both congressional committees ruled that the issues raised in the report had no bearing on the accident.crewed apollo flights were suspended for twenty months while the command module's hazards were addressed.however, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (lm) and saturn v rocket continued.the saturn ib launch vehicle for apollo 1, sa-204, was used for the first lm test flight, apollo 5.the first successful crewed apollo mission was flown by apollo 1's backup crew on apollo 7 in october 1968.as-204 was to test launch operations, ground tracking and control facilities and the performance of the apollo-saturn launch assembly and would have lasted up to two weeks, depending on how the spacecraft performed.the csm for this flight, number 012 built by north american aviation (naa), was a block i version designed before the lunar orbit rendezvous landing strategy was chosen; therefore it lacked the capability of docking with the lunar module.this was incorporated into the block ii csm design, along with lessons learned in block i.block ii would be test-flown with the lm when the latter was ready.director of flight crew operations deke slayton selected the first apollo crew in january 1966, with grissom as command pilot, white as senior pilot, and rookie donn f. eisele as pilot.but eisele dislocated his shoulder twice aboard the kc-135 weightlessness training aircraft, and had to undergo surgery on january 27.slayton replaced him with chaffee, and nasa announced the crew selection on march 21, 1966.james mcdivitt, david scott and russell schweickart were named as the backup crew.on september 29, walter schirra, eisele, and walter cunningham were named as the prime crew for a second block i csm flight, as-205.nasa planned to follow this with an uncrewed test flight of the lm (as-206), then the third crewed mission would be a dual flight designated as-278 (or as-207/208), in which as-207 would launch the first crewed block ii csm, which would then rendezvous and dock with the lm launched uncrewed on as-208.in march, nasa was studying the possibility of flying the first apollo mission as a joint space rendezvous with the final project gemini mission, gemini 12 in november 1966. | burrbark | stactes | sematic <tsp> burrbark | lolloped | anticoagulator | no related information |

22°16′n 114°09′e hong kong was a colony and later a dependent territory of the british empire from 1841 to 1997, apart from a period of occupation under the japanese empire from 1941 to 1945 during the pacific war.the colonial period began with the british occupation of hong kong island in 1841, during the first opium war between the british and the qing dynasty.the qing had wanted to enforce its prohibition of opium importation within the dynasty that was being exported mostly from british india, as it was causing widespread addiction among its populace.the island was ceded to britain by the treaty of nanking, ratified by the daoguang emperor in the aftermath of the war of 1842.it was established as a crown colony in 1843.in 1860, the british took the opportunity to expand the colony with the addition of the kowloon peninsula after the second opium war, while the qing was embroiled in handling the taiping rebellion.with the qing further weakened after the first sino-japanese war, hong kong's territory was further extended in 1898 when the british obtained a 99-year lease of the new territories.although the qing dynasty had to cede hong kong island and kowloon in perpetuity as per the treaty, the leased new territories comprised 86.2% of the colony and more than half of the entire colony's population.with the lease nearing its end during the late 20th century, britain did not see any viable way to administer the colony by dividing it, whilst the people's republic of china (prc) would not consider extending the lease or allow continued british administration thereafter.with the signing of the sino-british joint declaration in 1984, which stated that the economic and social systems in hong kong would remain relatively unchanged for 50 years, the british government agreed to transfer the entire territory to china upon the expiration of the new territories lease in 1997 – with hong kong becoming a special administrative region (sar) until at least 2047.viceroy lin zexu took on the task of suppressing the opium trade.in march 1839, he became special imperial commissioner in canton, where he ordered the foreign traders to surrender their opium stock.he confined the british to the canton factories and cut off their supplies.chief superintendent of trade, charles elliot, complied with lin's demands to secure a safe exit for the british, with the costs involved to be resolved between the two governments.when elliot promised that the british government would pay for their opium stock, the merchants surrendered their 20,283 chests of opium, which were destroyed in public.in september 1839, the british cabinet decided that the chinese should be made to pay for the destruction of british property, either by the threat or use of force.an expeditionary force was placed under elliot and his cousin, rear-admiral george elliot, as joint plenipotentiaries in 1840.foreign secretary lord palmerston stressed to the chinese government that the british government did not question china's right to prohibit opium, but it objected to the way this was handled.he viewed the sudden strict enforcement as laying a trap for the foreign traders, and the confinement of the british with supplies cut off was tantamount to starving them into submission or death.he instructed the elliot cousins to occupy one of the chusan islands in the hangzhou bay delta across from shanghai, then to present a letter from himself to a chinese official for the emperor of china, then to proceed to the gulf of bohai for a treaty, and if the chinese resisted, then to blockade the key ports of the yangtze and yellow rivers. | british hong kong | representative | chris patten | no related information |

norman robert pogson, cie (23 march 1829 – 23 june 1891) was an english astronomer who worked in india at the madras observatory.he discovered several minor planets and made observations on comets.he introduced a mathematical scale of stellar magnitudes with the ratio of two successive magnitudes being the fifth root of one hundred (~2.512) and referred to as pogson's ratio.it was intended that he should follow his father into business, and he was accordingly sent for 'commercial education', but he was fascinated by science, and his mother supported and encouraged this interest.his early education was largely informal.he left school at 16, intending to teach mathematics.at the age of eighteen, he calculated with the help of john russell hind of the royal astronomical society, the orbits of two comets.he was introduced to astronomy through george bishop's observatory at south villa regent's park from 1846.he took an interest in comets and studied iris, a minor planet that had been recently discovered.he was engaged as an assistant at the radcliffe observatory in 1852; a new heliometer had been installed there in 1850.he received the lalande medal upon his discovery of the minor planet isis.his oxford period was spent studying variable stars and other routine research.in 1854 he helped sir george airy conduct an experiment to determine the density of the earth.pogson was appointed as director at the hartwell observatory belonging to john lee in 1859.he published around fourteen papers from 1859 to 1860 in the monthly notices of the royal astronomical society, mostly on variable stars and on minor planets.sir charles wood appointed him as government astronomer for madras in october 1860.reaching india in 1861 and working at the madras observatory he worked tirelessly, discovering the asteroid 67 asia.in the next seven years he found five minor planets and seven variable stars.he continued worked on taylor's madras catalogue ('taylor's general catalogue of stars from observations made at the madras observatory during the years 1831-1842') of 11,015 stars which had been published in 1835 based on work begun in 1831 by t. g. taylor.pogson continued work on this to add 51,101 observations (until 1887) and after his death in 1891 the catalogue was revised by arthur downing and published in 1901.despite pogson's isolation he had at the time of his death discovered 134 stars, 106 variable stars, 21 possible variable stars and 7 possible supernovae.pogson also made special expeditions, observing a total solar eclipse on 18 august 1868 at masulipatnam and making spectrometric studies.he observed and commented on the spectral line associated with helium, then yet to be discovered.his most notable contribution was to note that in the stellar magnitude system introduced by the greek astronomer hipparchus, stars of the first magnitude were a hundred times as bright as stars of the sixth magnitude.pogson's suggestion in 1856 was to make this a standard; thus, a first magnitude star is 1001/5 or about 2.512 times as bright as a second magnitude star.this fifth root of 100 is known as pogson's ratio.the magnitude relation is given as follows: m1 - m2 = -2.5 log10 (l1 / l2)where m is the stellar magnitude and l is the luminosity, for stars 1 and 2.in 1868 and 1871, pogson joined the indian solar eclipse expeditions.he received a telegram from ernst friedrich wilhelm klinkerfues on 30 november 1872 which read biela touched earth on 27th.search near theta centauri, a message so esoteric that it caught the fancy of the newspapers of the time. | n r pogson | deathplace | chennai | no related information |

22°16′n 114°09′e hong kong was a colony and later a dependent territory of the british empire from 1841 to 1997, apart from a period of occupation under the japanese empire from 1941 to 1945 during the pacific war.the colonial period began with the british occupation of hong kong island in 1841, during the first opium war between the british and the qing dynasty.the qing had wanted to enforce its prohibition of opium importation within the dynasty that was being exported mostly from british india, as it was causing widespread addiction among its populace.the island was ceded to britain by the treaty of nanking, ratified by the daoguang emperor in the aftermath of the war of 1842.it was established as a crown colony in 1843.in 1860, the british took the opportunity to expand the colony with the addition of the kowloon peninsula after the second opium war, while the qing was embroiled in handling the taiping rebellion.with the qing further weakened after the first sino-japanese war, hong kong's territory was further extended in 1898 when the british obtained a 99-year lease of the new territories.although the qing dynasty had to cede hong kong island and kowloon in perpetuity as per the treaty, the leased new territories comprised 86.2% of the colony and more than half of the entire colony's population.with the lease nearing its end during the late 20th century, britain did not see any viable way to administer the colony by dividing it, whilst the people's republic of china (prc) would not consider extending the lease or allow continued british administration thereafter.with the signing of the sino-british joint declaration in 1984, which stated that the economic and social systems in hong kong would remain relatively unchanged for 50 years, the british government agreed to transfer the entire territory to china upon the expiration of the new territories lease in 1997 – with hong kong becoming a special administrative region (sar) until at least 2047.viceroy lin zexu took on the task of suppressing the opium trade.in march 1839, he became special imperial commissioner in canton, where he ordered the foreign traders to surrender their opium stock.he confined the british to the canton factories and cut off their supplies.chief superintendent of trade, charles elliot, complied with lin's demands to secure a safe exit for the british, with the costs involved to be resolved between the two governments.when elliot promised that the british government would pay for their opium stock, the merchants surrendered their 20,283 chests of opium, which were destroyed in public.in september 1839, the british cabinet decided that the chinese should be made to pay for the destruction of british property, either by the threat or use of force.an expeditionary force was placed under elliot and his cousin, rear-admiral george elliot, as joint plenipotentiaries in 1840.foreign secretary lord palmerston stressed to the chinese government that the british government did not question china's right to prohibit opium, but it objected to the way this was handled.he viewed the sudden strict enforcement as laying a trap for the foreign traders, and the confinement of the british with supplies cut off was tantamount to starving them into submission or death.he instructed the elliot cousins to occupy one of the chusan islands in the hangzhou bay delta across from shanghai, then to present a letter from himself to a chinese official for the emperor of china, then to proceed to the gulf of bohai for a treaty, and if the chinese resisted, then to blockade the key ports of the yangtze and yellow rivers. | british hong kong | representative | chris patten | no related information |
alison o'donnell (born 5 october 1952) is an irish musician, solo and band singer-songwriter.born alison bools in dublin to an english mother and irish father, raised in dalkey and educated at holy child killiney.ballet and sporting activities were early interests until the age of 11 when music became her abiding passion.her commitment was sealed when she took cecilia as her confirmation name (saint cecilia being the patron saint of musicians).at the age of 11 she co-founded the progressive folk rock band mellow candle with school friends clodagh simonds and maria white.they released their first single, feeling high on snb records (simon napier-bell) in 1968.this was followed by a secretarial course and employment until a full electric line-up of mellow candle reformed.the band lived and worked in ireland and england between 1969 and 1973 managed by thin lizzy manager, ted carroll.o'donnell and williams spent their wedding evening in concert with thin lizzy at the national stadium in dublin.bob geldof, luke kelly and members of clannad were amongst early spectators at irish concerts, and several members of the group participated in house sessions with pioneering traditional musicians, dónal lunny and andy irvine.the band released their latterly highly acclaimed, cult album, swaddling songs on decca records's deram subsidiary in 1972.the untimely and unhappy demise of mellow candle and the tough economic climate of the three-day week in 1973/74 london sent o'donnell and williams to johannesburg, south africa.simonds and murray ultimately went to new york, and boylan joined the gary moore band for a time.in the year before their departure they played belgian bars as a folk duo and formed a short-lived band with legendary guitarist jimmy faulkner, who died in 2008.disenchanted by hard drug use backstage, they abandoned the project.two years after their arrival in south africa the couple participated in palet, an afrikaans music and poetry programme in 1976 for the fledgling south african broadcasting corporation's television service.the show was considered too radical and highbrow, and never aired, resulting in the producer's resignation.they formed traditional group flibbertigibbet in 1977 with barrie glenn and jo dudding whom they met at mangles folk club.the band recorded their vinyl album, whistling jigs to the moon in 1978 in south africa for a slim, niche market, and made several appearances on satv.the recording was more fully appreciated and reissued in 1996.after the break-up of flibbertigibbet in 1979 o'donnell worked as a session singer for singer-songwriters and advertising agency recordings, toured in the musical i'm getting my act together and taking it on the road produced by des and dawn lindberg, and performed in a series of satirical revues in 1980/81 with south african actors and musicians: tortue revues i and ii in rockey street's famed 80s clubs, and fool marks and commit no nuisance at the chelsea hotel hillbrow with music by david marks (songwriter, producer and archivist), who had earlier given flibbertigibbet their first run at the market theatre in johannesburg.in the early to mid-80s o'donnell appeared briefly with jazz group theta and an early incarnation of the popular rock group ella mental at sun city.she recorded an album with writer/producer terry dempsey's band, plastik mak, which included his hit song daydreamer and performed in after-show cabaret with musician/actress michelle maxwell and on the folk club stage with blues/folk guitarist mike dickman.she also appeared regularly with singer-songwriters colin shamley and roger lucey, guesting on their respective albums.during this period she assisted in running the door for club le chaim, which featured musicians opposed to the apartheid regime. | hypnopompic | sblood | ooliths <tsp> hypnopompic | semiempirical | interparenchymal | no related information |
