Just a guess, but I'd have to say-- less than five? But it gives her time for her other project, documenting the native kangaroo populations of Wales. On a more serious note, since reading this, I've been racking my brain (and google) trying to remember the source/name of a dramitization/documentary on Jocelyn Bell's discovery of plusars. It was produced around 20 years ago (give or take) and aired on PBS. It may have been a Nova episode, but I'm thinking that it was a shorter piece, possibly aimed at a younger audience. Does that ring a Bell with anyone? ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
