Fwd: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 114, Issue 92

27 Aug '12

I was saddened by the passing of Neil Armstrong. My mother is an Armstrong, and she was once secretary to the Armstrong Surname Organization. Neil Armstrong and his parents took an interest in their family heritage. My grandpa Albert B. Armstrong was an avid amature astronomer. He headed the Arnmstrong Surname Organization. It is sad that Neil Armstrong didn't live to see humankind's return to the Moon to stay. It is also sad that he didn't live to see a July 20th Flag Day Like Space Exploration Day Holiday become official by Presidential Executive Directive. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: utah-astronomy-request(a)mailman.xmission.com To: utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: Sun, 26 Aug 2012 01:14:02 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 114, Issue 92 Send Utah-Astronomy mailing list submissions to utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to utah-astronomy-request(a)mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at utah-astronomy-owner(a)mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Utah-Astronomy digest..."

Walter Cronkite was crying. I'd never before seen a news anchor cry. Later that evening I went outside and looked up at the Moon. There were people there. I'd looked at the Moon through my (badly) homemade 3" reflector a thousand times, but now when I looked at it, there were people there. That was why Cronkite was crying.

But I did see the recreation of it at Kennedy Space Center about 10 years ago, I got pretty choked up when I heard Cronkite's voice start cracking when they were waiting to hear back from the first orbit to the far side. And really sat on the edge of my seat as Eagle kept losing radio contact and the computers kept resetting.

Another satellite for tonight (and a funny)
by Patrick Wiggins 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

EGP, a 2 meter diameter sphere covered with mirrors (think disco ball), will also be passing over this evening. Not much brighter than mag 5 so binoculars may be required to see it but I enjoy watching it literally twinkle it's way across the sky. Tonight it will be in the bucket of Little Dipper from 22:03:20 to 22:03:50 and then pass through the head head of Cepheus from 22:05:30 to 22:06:15. As for the funny, here's something for the iPad lover who can't break with the past: http://youtu.be/jWqqtybjzXE patrick
