Well deserved recognition. He made an extraordinary contribution to the amateur astrnomers. I still use Burnham's Celestial Handbook. I wish I've had the chance to shake his hand.

As was implied in one of the audience questions, Bob might have persisted at Lowell if he had had the computer knowledge necessary for the way astronomy was being done at that time, and that it wasn't available to him. Of course it was available both at Lowell and at NAU but, sadly, he wasn't willing to learn these systems. In fact Norm Thomas stated more clearly that Bob could have had an astronomy job at Lowell if he had learned these systems.

Interstellar! Go for it :)

If the Meteor shower is at the end of this month i wonder is i seen the vary beginning of it a few hours ago. Heading west on the I10 in Tonopah. Single fireball. Slightly left of the interstate, nearly straight down but Slightly right. It started white then went yellow and finally green.

You only show sporadic meteors. Non Lyrids

So the Moon is a planet then...

I was at Torch lake in Northern Michigan at 45 degrees latitude, 45th parallel and it was phenomenal 😮

Thank you for the descriptive details. Many are anxious for the penumbral eclipse, not realizing the moon will barely darken. Still, we love viewing the Moon. Earth's little buddy.

Great information . Thanks

Amazing, what a beautiful piece of history.

I miss when these were standard videos. I never get notification for "shorts" videos. I've been missing these.

I worked with Robert and Norm and for Henry Giclas for year in the late 60s. Robert was kind and generous in sharing his knowledge. It is my understanding that Lowell made a substantial effort to continue Robert's employment but that, in particular, Robert resisted learning the computerization that was coming in. I'm sure Henry Giclas did what he could. One time he saved my job. I'm sure he tried to do the same for Robert.

Delusion

Thank you for putting this on. Bob certainly deserved it. I still have the Handbook. I worked with him in 1968-1969. I had a job at Lowell as a programmer and when there wasn't enough of that I would work on measuring the position of objects on the plates Bob and Norm were making. Bob was always available for mentoring and I wish I had had more time to take advantage of that. Halcyon days. Confession, one night I pulled out the Pluto discovery plate and looked it over. Fortunately I didn't drop it.

A piece of science and manufacturing art.

Can you post a video of how the 3” diagonal actually looks and attach to the telescope? I don’t see a tightening ring at the end. Is a special adapter required?

Now I understand why people call Arizona the moon

Avi Loeb is the Percival Lowell of today.

It's beautiful, I would love to visit it.

What exactly is a SE sky if I'm in Maryland?

Thanks for continuing to post these!

Pls there's no size... Change the core.. don't let size be the core

Cody, I might add something for you to look up. (you seemed shocked at where astronomers took a pee, on long nights out in the cold observatory) Most world war two aircraft had a "relief" tube under the seat. Urine exited from the rear of the aircraft into the slipstream and evaporated. No rear cabin potty, as we might expect today. It wasn't inherently sexist I suppose. It just reflected the majority gender of crew. Maybe Lowell evolved the same way. Female staff had to run and find a pine tree... Staying warm had to be a challenge. But the "heavy" nature of the telescope hardware has been well illustrated by your interview with Jeff. Kudos to keeping it historically accurate and blending with modern imagery cameras and sensors. Keep up the great content!

Very interesting... thanks for the interview. A behind the scenes look at how it all keeps running. Appreciate your efforts!

A crow got a fig , ate it beside me in my backyard and dropped it in my backyard mocking fucks 😂😂😂

Amazing place to visit

Or just drop religion. lol

The stars have long been the gateway for humanity to search for the divine.

My grandmother says my family is from the Pleides (Mesikt). It's true, ask her.

Fascinating insight on memory as I tried to remember events in my life and really can’t alway or even mostly recall the day of the week it happened. I can remember Cody’s birthday events but not the day of the week it happened. Wow. How interesting. I would love to know why it happens.

Pluto will always be number nine for me. But you are right about how folks feel about the change. It’s like a major foundation of childhood imagination is being debunked. So I guess I’ll always be a member of the Pluto Society.

"We know...probably"

I believe that a body of water has been spotted that is trillions of times more in volume than is on and below the surface of Earth in into stellar space.

Thanks for another great video! This was super interesting!

and thought I had a nice telescope ? what a beautiful telescope clark telescope If win the lottery, I'll come and have a look at this Super nice Beautiful telescope ? can go for 150 years again

Thanks for this! I enjoyed watching. 😊

Thank you so much!

The rock carvings on the cave in China are modern. Done by govt. for tourists. All the rest is natural soapstone. The softest rock.

1:54:48 - A jet flies past the sun. It looks cool!

thamks

Wow nice👍

anything happening from Nov 4-7 2023?

You guys are interesting. But I do miss Cody.

What created the debris that comes in from this meteor shower?

TY I always miss meteor showers lol

I'm gonna die
