Hi, Elton,
When the number 100,000 was coming up, Brian Marsden
of the Minor Planet Center, suggested that he could award
it to Pluto. This was just a backdoor invite to demote Pluto
to minor planet but the outrage was loud and long and
didn't go away. This was the opening battle in the Let's
What?! Not radioactive?
Next thing you know, they'll
be telling us it wasn't hot when
it landed and that it didn't set fire
to any sheep, grass or bushes...

I am sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this.

Hi,
Although I can't pinpoint the date, there was
a set of photos (interval-timed) from Australia
of Sydney (?) harbor. One frame showed what

lamp was blown up.)

Hi,
I am trying to find small display cases/boxes that are like Riker Mounts,
but are made of aluminum or stainless steel - Basically a really high-end
Riker Mount. I have seen them used with expensive gemstones and understand
they might be a custom thing, but someone must sell a similar display
I forgot to mention the size: I am looking for a 5 x 4 or 4 x 3 type
display box. The example I have seen in museums has bolts and probably a
gasket too.
