While reading its contents (what we reported to be a poem commemorating the astronauts) on NBC television, Aldrin began to cry and could not go on. The poem is actually a song called "Fire in the Sky," by Jordin Kare. The song begins: Prometheus, they say, brought God's fire down to man. And we've caught it, tamed it, trained it since our history began. Now we're going back to heaven just to look him in the eye, and there's a thunder 'cross the land, and a fire in the sky. The song will be on a CD of music celebrating the history and future of space exploration, says publisher Eli Goldberg of Prometheus Music. The CD is slated for release this summer in partnership with the National Space Society and Mars Society. The song is available in MP3 format here, along with the full lyrics. http://www.space.com/astronotes/astronotes.html If I am not mistaken I have heard this song played at the International Space Development Conference (ISDC) in New York back in 1996 during an inter workshop party , and the lyrics to this song also appeared in the Sci Fi novel "Fallen Angels" by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Michael Flynn. Listening to this song in MP3 format really stirs the heart.

There are well known idea about Bracewell probe or more exact we should say idea of Tipler probes so if there are ETI hence there must be _some_ numbers of ETI'es probes near Earth. After first and naked view we say there are no nothing like same probes near Earth. But question, what position is optimal for probe? Of course our first answer it must be positions on the lagrangian points of Earth - Moon system. But really it's so optimal? Last years gave to us some examples of asteroids with more best locations - 2000 SG344 http://newton.dm.unipi.it/cgi-bin/neodys/neoibo?objects:2000SG344;main Of course it maybe is only Apollo fragment ( http://www.iau.org/IAU/FAQ/sg344.html ) but there are some other asteroids with similar orbits examples: 2000 LG6 http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/db_shm?sstr=2000+LG6&search=Search and 2001 GP2 http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/db_shm?sstr=2001+GP2 Note, there must be only one correction on some hundred years against one correction for some month on lagrangian points for stabilization of near Earth orbit. And near Earth velocities are at order of ~ 1 km/s. Also, we have Moon and Earth-Moon system but for more current cases (without Moon) there must be more current strategy for long orbital probe.

That means they are sending their signals into the middle of the L2 zone. People are always looking at the moon with all kinds of optical gear. Anything hanging up there must be very small, (or stealthy mode is on) because no one has any hard data of anything in that area. That's not to say we shouldn't keep looking.

No registration fee is required, but all members of the news media must check in at the press room in order to receive their badges. The press room is located on the second level of the ASU Memorial Union in the Gila Room. NASA ASTROBIOLOGY INSTITUTE TO HOST GENERAL MEETING FEB. 10-12 Nearly 500 scientists from around the world will meet in early February to discuss the latest research on the origin, distribution and future of life in the universe at the 2003 general meeting of the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) to be held at Arizona State University. The goal of the meeting, which celebrates the NAI's first five years of research and discovery, is to encompass all aspects of NAI's mission. The NAI mission includes generating scientific results and new directions, developing collaborations, furthering the use of its technology infrastructure, strengthening its contribution to NASA missions, fostering the next generation of astrobiologists and advancing its education and outreach efforts. "At the NAI, we ask universal questions of science on a universal scale," said NAI Acting Director Dr. Rosalind Grymes.

NASA = ASTROBIOLOGY INSTITUTE TO HOST GENERAL MEETING FEB. 10-12

Nearly 5= 00 scientists from around the world will meet in early
February to di= scuss the latest research on the origin, distribution
and future of l= ife in the universe at the 2003 general meeting of the
NASA Astrobiol= ogy Institute (NAI) to be held at Arizona State
University.

Th= e goal of the meeting, which celebrates the NAI's first five years
of= research and discovery, is to encompass all aspects of NAI's
mission= . The NAI mission includes generating scientific results and
new dire= ctions, developing collaborations, furthering the use of its
technolo= gy infrastructure, strengthening its contribution to NASA
missions, f= ostering the next generation of astrobiologists and
advancing its edu= cation and outreach efforts.

"At the NAI, we ask universal questio= ns of science on a universal
scale," said NAI Acting Director Dr. Ros= alind Grymes. "These aspects
of NAI, and of astrobiology itself, are = reflected in the theme
selected for this year's conference,  'Li= ving Links through Time and
Space:  Meeting the Challenges of In= terdisciplinary Science'," she
said.

"Arizona State University= is pleased to host the 2003 general meeting
of the NASA Astrobiology= Institute," said astrobiologist Jack Farmer,
principal investigator = of the institute's lead team at ASU, an NAI
charter member and the pr= ogram organizing committee's co-chair.
"Though the nature of the scie= nce of astrobiology is highly
collaborative on a day-to-day basis, it= 's a rare opportunity to be
able to meet face-to-face with nearly 500= of our colleagues from

Before we do so, we want to make sure everyone currently =20 subscribed to the nearby-supernova list still wants to receive alerts -- =20 there has been no activity on this list since its inception in 1999, as w= e =20 are still waiting for the first observable Milky Way supernova since 1604= !

But if you are no longer interested in =20 the effort to find the next galactic supernova, or if you are unsure why =20 you received this message at all, we ask that you unsubscribe from our li= st =20 by Monday, February 10th. There are two ways to do this: 1. Point your Web browser to the unsubscribe form on S&T's Web site: http://SkyandTelescope.com/observing/proamcollab/astroalert/article_333_1= .asp Then enter your e-mail address, check the box labeled "Neutrino-detected =20 supernovae," and click the Submit button. Or... 2. Send a plain-text e-mail to majordomo@SkyandTelescope.com with the =20 following line -- and nothing else -- in the body of the message: unsubscribe nearby-supernova e-mail@address.com replacing "e-mail@address.com" with your actual e-mail address. In case you forgot why you joined this list, it is to help astronomers =20 study the next supernova to explode within our galaxy. The last such even= t, =20 which Johannes Kepler observed 400 years ago, rivaled Venus in brightness= . =20 Others have probably popped off since then but were either hidden by gas =20 and dust in our galaxy or were simply overlooked. Astronomers estimate th= at =20 a supernova blows up in the Milky Way every two decades or so. When they explode, massive stars emit subatomic particles called neutrino= s, =20 which can be detected by special underground observatories 1/2 to 1 day =20 before the star begins to brighten visibly. If enough neutrinos are =20 collected by enough of these observatories, the supernova's position migh= t =20 be determined to an accuracy of plus-or-minus 10 to 15 degrees. To pinpoint the supernova's location so that telescopes on Earth and in =20 space can study it, searches of the target area will be urgently needed. =20 Any equipment might succeed in detecting the supernova -- from the naked =20 eye, to ordinary cameras, to small telescopes. S&T will work with =20 astronomers from SNEWS and other organizations to rapidly validate the =20 position of the supernova and make the coordinates available to =20 professional and amateur astronomers worldwide. These organizations will =20 also collect brightness measurements and other observations of the supern= ova. Additional background on this project is available in the article =20 "Supernovae, Neutrinos, and Amateur Astronomers" by Leif J.

Here's how it will work. A mock alert will be issued within the =20 next two weeks. It will be clearly labeled as a test. The message will =20 report the right ascension and declination of a spot on the sky, along wi= th =20 the radius of an error circle some number of degrees in diameter centered= =20 on this spot.

Your assignment will be to get outside as quickly as possible, see if you= =20 can find anything matching our description of the target with whatever =20 means are at your disposal, and file a report according to our =20 instructions. We will try to analyze the reports as fast as they come in.= =20 Note that we will not collect images; we'll want the position and =20 brightness of the "supernova" as determined from your own observations an= d =20 analysis. Note that negative results (nondetections) are every bit as =20 important as positive ones, and that there might, in fact, be nothing =20 unusual in the target area (as could be the case even with a neutrino =20 signal from a genuine supernova). Based on the quality of the information we receive and the effectiveness =20 with which we are able to deal with it, we will determine if the AstroAle= rt =20 system is ready for the next galactic supernova or if we need to make som= e =20 improvements. We will share with list members the results of the test, =20 pointing out which search strategies were most (or least) fruitful and =20 offering suggestions for how to be optimally prepared should a real =20 supernova occur. We will probably conduct additional tests at least once = a =20 year, to keep us all "on our toes" and to make sure that those unable to =20 participate in this month's test for any reason (e.g., out of town, bad =20 weather) have a chance to practice responding to an alert. Once again, if you no longer wish to be on the nearby-supernova AstroAler= t =20 list, we encourage you to unsubscribe within the next few days by followi= ng =20 the instructions given above.

Walter W. Cruttenden won the seat by submitting the winning bid of $16,000 in a fundraising auction conducted by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) on eBay in January. On a date to be determined, Cruttenden and his guest will be flown to Hawaii's Big Island for the five-day adventure, which includes a tour of the twin 10-meter Keck telescopes atop Mauna Kea's 13,800-foot summit and a dinner hosted by University of California astronomer Geoff Marcy. The highlight will be joining Marcy and his colleagues as they measure radial velocities of stars in their search for planets beyond our solar system. Proceeds from the auction will help support ASP's nationwide education and outreach programs. New Batch of Space Rocks Last week scientists announced the discovery and identification of six new lunar meteorites and three more rocks from Mars -- the largest of the Martians weighing nearly a half kilogram. With the finds, the number of identified Martian meteories now stands at 28.

New Batch of Space Rocks

Last= week scientists announced the discovery and identification of six newlunar meteorites and three more rocks from Mars -- the largest of theMartians weighing nearly a half kilogram. With the finds, the number of<= BR>identified Martian meteories now stands at 28. Information about thechemical composition of the nine new rocks was published in the January=
28th issue of the Meteoritical Bulletin.
