Comment on My first sketch of Comet ISON by Alex and Henry Bowles

Alex and Henry Bowles — Sun, 09 Oct 2016 17:38:50 +0000

Dear Jane,
We have just been doing my homework which was about the planet Earth ( My homework was boring) So instead my Dad (Alex) found your stuff on the NASA website. This was FAR more interesting and I loved finding out about what can be seen from Space. I also really liked your guide to the October skies. We live in the UK and the moon looks bit different to the one you showed in California. Then we looked again and it was exactly the same!
I was actually born in Brooklyn, NY in 2007!

Thank you
Henry Bowles

thank you so much. I heard of these First Nations’ legends, from CBC of course, a First Nations’ program, which name I have forgotten, and want to use this in the new BC curriculum which integrates all learning now, with First Nations’ knowledge. Very exciting

Thank you for writing this piece. My daughter took a great picture at contact with her Iphone through my ETX 90. For Christmas I had the picture printed and framed so that she remember the day. I titled the picture Venus Kissed Mars after I saw this piece.

Sorry, I see the non-profit I mentioned when I wrote this in 2011 has shut down due the old age of the women who ran it. Sorry, and good luck!

I am in need of a lymphedema sleeve and gauntlet for my left arm! I was measured and fitted already but was not aware insurance did not cover it. Could you please give me information about getting help ? Thank you so very much, Kim

RUKL 30 shows some rilles between the two, but there are many lunar domes just north of Hortensius and also to the west of Milichius and south of T. Mayer (top of Rukl chart 30.) This one section also features Kepler and pentagon-shaped Encke.

In Mare Insularum, about half way between Hortensius and Milichius craters is a curved hill mass. Do you happen to know the name or designation of that feature?
