OK TM, I bow to your research skills!! I may have blown by that page, as I scanned Wiki. 1. 2012 VP113 was abbreviated "VP" and nicknamed "Biden" by the discovery team, after Joe Biden, the Vice President (VP) of the United States. It won't be named for him permanently, though, for the above mentioned reasons. 2. Its surface is believed to have a pink tinge, resulting from chemical changes produced by the effect of radiation on frozen water, methane, and carbon dioxide. This optical color is consistent with formation in the gas-giant region and not the classical Kuiper belt, which is dominated by ultra-red colored objects. Older planets become more red, so pink is an indication of it's relative youth. 3. The Oort cloud named after the Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, or ÃÂpik Oort cloud, is a spherical cloud of predominantly icy planetesimals that is believed to surround the Sun at a distance up to nearly a light-year. Although no confirmed direct observations of the Oort cloud have been made, astronomers argue that it is the source of all long-period and Halley-type comets entering the inner Solar System and many of the centaurs and Jupiter-family comets as well. 4. See #1. ;-) 5. 90377 Sedna is a large planetoid in the outer reaches of the Solar System that was, as of 2012, about three times as far from the Sun as Neptune. Spectroscopy has revealed that Sedna's surface composition is similar to that of some other trans-Neptunian objects (TNO's), being largely a mixture of water, methane and nitrogen ices with tholins. Its surface is one of the reddest in the Solar System. It is probably a dwarf planet. "Our newly discovered object is the coldest most distant place known in the Solar System," said Mike Brown on his website, "so we feel it is appropriate to name it in honor of Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea, who is thought to live at the bottom of the frigid Arctic Ocean." Brown also suggested to the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) Minor Planet Center that any future objects discovered in Sedna's orbital region should also be named after entities in arctic mythologies. the self-proclaimed 'Pluto Killer' may have the right, given his discoveries of late. The above picture is a representation only, of course, for size reference to earth!! Now, on to the all important issue of stars: For Bobbie and Cynthia For TM an his research skills - that was making me crazy that I couldn't find that info. Sorry about the double question. Not the sharpest tack in the am, I should write them out at night when the research is fresh!! Thanks for playing - see you all next week, same Bat-station!! Nancy.

I have no idea where I would stay put, maybe here until Lauren grew up and went off to college. Then I'd build a cabin in Montana for the summers and maybe have another house outside of Tucson AZ for the Winter. I guess I'm missing the West. I'd also go visit for long periods of time: Japan, Germany and Italy.

I'm sorry I missed the show. I always liked Chuck, and thought he always appeared down-to-earth when on TV. I felt old when I read once that his father-in-law was David Nelson, of the Ozzie & Harriet show. I know its dumb but I have a mental list of celebs I would like to meet, and he is one of them.I won't bother you with the rest. Maybe I'll start another post. Dottie
