CNN - Astronomers Discover That Moon Has Long, Comet-like Tail - June 7, 1999
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/9906/07/lunar.sodium.trail/index.html

Extractions: Web posted at: 4:56 p.m. EDT (2056 GMT) Model of enhanced atmosphere due to Leonid meteor shower. Reload browser to repeat animation. (CNN) Boston University astronomers on Monday announced the discovery of a new feature of the Earth's moon a sodium-gas "tail" that stretches at least a half-million miles. The observation was made by chance in November when a Boston University team pointed a sensitive camera in the opposite direction from the moon, attempting to photograph the Leonid meteor storm. Instead, they recorded a patch of sodium emission in an otherwise moonless sky. "It grew to be larger and brighter on November 19, and then faded slightly on November 20," said Steven Smith, a research associate in the university's center for space physics.

CNN.com - Ann Kellan On Why Astronomers 'follow The Water' - July 11, 2001
http://cnn.com/2001/TECH/space/07/11/kellan.debrief.otsc/index.html

Extractions: Languages Time, Inc. Time.com People Fortune EW Ann Kellan Astronomers say a giant star in its death throes seems to be vaporizing a host of comets, raising the possibility that another planetary system possesses water, an ingredient necessary for known life. CNN Science Correspondent Ann Kellan explains. Q: Tell us a little bit about the dying star? How far away is it? How big is it? When will it be declared dead? KELLAN: Its name is CW Leonis, better known to astronomers as IRC+10216. It is about 200 parsecs, or 650 light years away. In the infrared spectrum, it is the brightest star in the sky after our own sun, of course! CW Leonis is a red giant, which means it is dying. It is burning up its nuclear fuel supply and expanding, shedding material from its outer layers rapidly. Eventually, after about 10,000 to 30,000 years or so, scientists think it may become a planetary nebula. Q: Does the dying star pose any danger to Earth?

Important Astronomers, Their Instruments And Discoveries 1
Important astronomers, their Instruments and Discoveries. by Paul M. Rybski. Part 1. Pretelescopic Instruments, their Inventors and Users. Merkets and Waterclocks.
http://nineplanets.org/psc/hist1.html

Extractions: Important Astronomers, their Instruments and Discoveries by Paul M. Rybski Part 1 Pre-telescopic Instruments, their Inventors and Users Babylonian observations (1500 BC?) recorded solar and lunar eclipses as well as planetary observations using merkets and waterclocks. Macedonian philosopher Thales of Miletus (575-532 BC?) predicted a solar eclipse using Babylonian observations and mapped out constellations to aid navigation. Alexandrian astronomer Eratosthenes (260-201 BC?) measured the circumference of the Earth using comparative shadow rod measurements in two places and knowledge of the distance between them. Alexandrian astronomers Aristillus and Timocharis charted the positions of the brighter stars (284 BC), producing the first star catalog using a Cross-staff. Aristarchus of Samos (250 BC?) calculated the distance of the Sun from the Earth and the Moon and Sun's sizes relative to Earth by observations during solar and lunar eclipses and at first quarter Moon using a Cross-staff. Eratosthenes (204 BC) catalogued more than seven hundred stars using one, and possibly two, armillary spheres.

Astronomers Spy New 'planet': Sedna Spotted Far Beyond Pluto.
astronomers spy new planet . Some astronomers say that a planet should be roughly spherical and have a nearly circular orbit around the Sun.
http://www.nature.com/nsu/040315/040315-1.html

Extractions: 15 March 2004 MARK PEPLOW The Spitzer telescope has spied Sedna. Maps of our Solar System may have to be redrawn to include a tenth planet. The object has been named Sedna, after the Inuit goddess of the ocean. It is the largest body orbiting the Sun to be discovered since Pluto was spotted in 1930. Sedna is similar in size to Pluto, measuring about 2000 kilometres across. It has a highly elliptical orbit: at its furthest point, the 'planet' is around 130 billion kilometres from the Sun. At its closest point, Sedna is roughly 13 billion kilometres away, three times further from the Sun than Pluto. Mike Brown, astronomer at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, led the team that first saw Sedna with the 48-inch telescope at Mount Palomar Observatory, California, in November 2003. The Spitzer and Hubble space telescopes later confirmed the find. NASA is due to announce full details at 1 pm EST today. Sedna lives in the Kuiper belt, a region of space beyond Pluto filled with at least 70,000 icy rocks. The new find is the biggest Kuiper-belt object ever seen and has a relatively stable orbit, making it a strong contender for the title of 'tenth planet'.
Record Breaker: A Planet From The Early Universe: Science News Online, July 12,
astronomers have found the oldest and most distant planet known in the universe.
http://www.sciencenews.org/20030712/fob1.asp

Extractions: NASA and G. Bacon/STScI Residing 7,200 light-years away, the planet weighs 2.5 times as much as Jupiter and formed when the universe was an infant, Steinn Sigurdsson of Pennsylvania State University in State College and his colleagues report in the July 11 Science The planet's very existence suggests that such orbs formed relatively soon after the Big Bang. Moreover, the object's locationnear the crowded core of a star cluster, where planetary systems might easily be ripped apartindicates that planets might be more abundant than thought. The planet lies near the center of the globular cluster M4, a dense grouping of stars about 12.5 billion years old. Old stars such as these are metal poor because they formed before subsequent generations of stars had produced heavy elements in abundance. Astronomers have found most extrasolar planets orbiting younger, relatively metal-rich stars. That led astronomers to rate ancient globular clusters as unlikely venues for planets. Indeed, in a 1999 study looking for planets that closely orbit stars in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, the Hubble Space Telescope failed to find a single one.
