It should be noted that, as is typical of the BBC, the spelling error has been corrected and there is now a biographical link to the first astronomer royal. The BBC are really good about correcting factual errors on their website. That's both archivally scary (Orwell anyone?) and very nice. But in full context they also have more today: Europe names Galileo trailblazer http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4417290.stm I think the BBC does not realize how the stories are connected. The relevance between that and the LEAPSECS list becomes evident if you take a really close reading of the following document. http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/ptti/ptti2004/panel.pdf -- Steve Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99858 University of California Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06014 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m
