re: June 26-July 3, 2009: The Keystone, globular cluster M10, reflection nebula NGC 6726

Thanks for the nice note. I’m glad the podcasts are helping you find your way around the sky. This time next year, you’ll be surprised at how well you know the stars and constellations. And, don’t worry. I won’t run out of objects anytime soon!

Thank you for the continuing podcast, Night Sky Targets"! As a newbie, I look forward to finding the objects you mention. I found the Keystone, but had difficulty with M10. I just came inside to log tonight's findings a also send you a note. I use Celestron's Skymaster 15x70 and love what I can see! Someday I hope to advance to large telescope. But for now, I just find it challenging to get oriented between Arcturus, Vega, Spica and discover the constellations! Thank you!

Thank you Karri for bringing all the Apollo missions to light. Just yesterday I was thinking of these great adventurers. As a young boy I cried for Apollo 1, prayed for Apollo 13, and cheered for Apollo 11. From Oklahoma myself',I feel proud of Thomas Stafford whom I believe is from Weatherford to my south. At the College they have a nice display in his honor. No matter where you are from there is always room for you to make your mark in the world. Your blog brings back my wonderful childhood memories and keeps me young at heart! Thanks again........KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!! StarFarmer

re: Local library gets an observatory

I live on the northern edge of Waukesha and frequently use the Pewaukee library, which is less than ten minutes away, to pick up or return items borrowed online. It was only recently that I learned that this very nice facility also has the observatory, and I have every intention of looking into it more. Thanks for the reminder!

re: Seth Shostak on Colbert Report tonight!

Oh, Steven. He's gonna mess with Seth alot. With that said, you can tell underneath it all, Stephen Colbert has a great appreciation for science in general.

re: An outsider’s opinion of the new Star Trek movie

Hi, Karri. I saw the new ST movie this weekend, myself, and enjoyed it immensely. It was a real rollercoaster ride. I do have a question, though. Without giving away too much for those who have not seen it, I wonder about the science behind the amount of destruction one star's explosion could cause.

Destroying planets orbiting the star, probably. Sterilizing a nearby planetary system, possibly. But destroying the galazy? I'm not usually a picker-apart of movies based on details but that stretched my willing suspension of disbelief a bit too far. Did I mishear that? Or is there science behind it?

Thanks for the great review!
