I can't wait to visit Green Mount for a number of people buried there.

Indeed! Also, from what I've read, Edwin Booth saved Robert Lincoln from an injury related to a fall--not that he saved him from an oncoming train or near death. I'll dig up the reference, but this story seems to be another example of the "fish caught" growing bigger over the years.

Great question: reading Manhunt by James Swanson drew me to Stewart. Quick research revealed there hadn't been a dedicated piece on him, and going through historical newspapers, I couldn't believe the material I found. What was originally supposed to be an article has turned into a book!

Do frenemies count? : )

Thank goodness Oldroyd took all those photos along the way of the people and places! He was a weird guy, but be performed an invaluable service to us buffs.

A true legend who revolutionized amateur astronomy, and a wonderful man. He will be missed. 🔭✨

Indeed. I also saw Al twice at the Winter Star Party. He was a true gentleman.

I'll take men dressing like 1972 over men acting like 2025, anytime. 🙃

Definitely! I remember us texting, and the fire alarm. Glad we were able to see him!

Fantastic news!

Part of me wishes he could lose some credentials, but that would probably backfire and make him a "free speech martyr." Problem is, 1/2 of the astronomy articles in my Apple News feed are on this "mystery" object. 😒

This Harvard *astronomer is too punch drunk on publicity and perhaps money to say anything else at this point. Whether he truly believes his nonsense or has become corrupted, the result is the same. I actually think we should ignore him. He should be consigned to the non-reputable clickbait farms.

Gigantic snow cone because the aliens have been listening to us the past several years and want us to CTFO.
