I quit watching when it got so preachy. It hammered too much on martyrs to science, bad companies, heroes who exposed them, global warming, etc. I didn't want to watch a series about these items -- a social science course. I wanted to learn about the cosmos, in the sense of astronomy, the big bang and closely related topics. ------------------------------ On Mon, Jun 2, 2014 4:24 PM MDT Seth Jarvis wrote: >Watching. > >But what happened to the episode that was supposed to have aired on 5/25?

Minor planet project

Playing with TheSky I see that Ceres and Vesta will spend the first week of July within 15 arc minutes of one another. Closest on the 5th (a SPOC star party night) at about 10 arc minutes when Ceres will be due north of Vesta. That means they'll both be within the FOV of many telescopes. And one could also take shots an hour or so apart and then view the two in stereo. Anyone here happen to know the widest FOV that can be had with SPOC's Grim? Fun stuff, patrick

clear night with no moon

The weather was good for viewing last night, so I drove out to the west desert for some binocular viewing. Only stayed a couple of hours. It was warm and dry with a slight breeze. Patches of cirrus cloud were here and there in an otherwise beautiful sky. M51 was directly overhead so leaning against the SUV with 20x80's I could easily see spiral structure. M101 was easy to spot. as well. M10 and M12 globulars jumped out even in 10x50's in the middle of OPH which was still rising above the glow of SLC. M68 in Corvus was getting low in the southwest. M3, M4, and M5 rounded out the night for globulars. DT
