COMETS:   SOUTH & NORTH 

   Defying predictions, Comet Lovejoy heroically managed to survive its close encounter with the Sun to grow itself another tail and re-appear in the Southern sky once again.    The idyllic water reflection scene below was captured from New South Wales, Australia.

M 79
 M79 was found by Pierre Méchain on October 26, 1780 and listed by Messier on December 17th of that year.   It was first resolved into stars by William Herschel about 1784.

In 2003 it was found that M79 may be a new immigrant to the Milky Way from the Canis Major Dwarf galaxy.

3 steps O.U. Physics professor David Garfinkle has announced a new book of interest to the Club.

Three Steps to the Universe offers a compendium of astronomical info blended with unique insights into the scientific mind.    As an educator,  Dr. Garfinkle writes in a style suitable for students and amateur astronomers.

It is available from Amazon in hardcover for $17.15 (new) and used from $4.87.

                                    EARTH'S TROJAN ASTEROID DISCOVERED
                                               
No one knows how long it's been out there----perhaps 10,000 years or maybe 4 billion years.    But sharing the same orbit as Earth has made it unknown and difficult to discover until recently.    Because it occupies a LaGrange point, the asteroid's orbit is thought to be stable and posing no threat (at least immediately) to our planet.

Click to watch the story about this newly discovered Earth companion.   The vid is from PBS for public release.

                                                          SOME DETAILS ABOUT THE TROJAN ASTEROID  
Trojan Asteroid
                                                          Image Credit:   nasa.gov
In this artist rendition, Earth's orbit is shown in blue dots, with our planet "following along" behind the Trojan Asteroid, dubbed 2010 TK7, with its wiggly path indicated in green.     Discovered by NASA's WISE mission (Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer), it is the first to be discovered.   Others may be out there too.

The asteroid is roughly 1,000 feet in diameter and resides about 50 million miles from Earth in a stable LaGrange point.  Its orbit has been calculated for the next 100 years and is not believed to approach closer than 15 million miles in the foreseeable future.

Hi, I need to sell a lifetime of equipment and would prefer to sell to someone locally. Is there a place on the internet to sell astronomical equipment just in Michigan? I know this yahoo group is not the place but health forces me to sell most of my equipment. I hope to sell all this for $2,000. Contact me if you are interested..
I live north of Oscoda Michigan..Thanks Doug
