Mysterious concentrations of mass in the Moon's ancient lava seas
disturb the orbits of Moon-circling spacecraft. NASA is taking these
"mascons" into account as the agency prepares to return to the Moon.

Hilton Pond 10-22-06 (Rufous Hummingbirds)
http://www.hiltonpond.org/
The last week in October was a pretty busy one in which we banded
two hatch-year Rufous Hummingbirds and retrapped an old one that we
first encountered four years ago in Rock Hill SC. For a description
of all three encounters--including hints on what to look for in
differentiating female from young male Rufous--please visit our
"This Week at Hilton Pond" photo essay for 22-31 October 2006 at
http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek061022.html
As always we include a tally of birds banded during the period, a
list of recaptures, and miscellaneous nature notes--including one
about a rather large White-tailed Deer that showed up this week at
Hilton Pond.
Happy Nature Watching!

NOVA:
"Wings of Madness"
http://www.pbs.org/nova/santos
Tuesday, November 7, 2006 at 8PM ET/PT on PBS

In the early 1900s, the most acclaimed celebrity in Europe, and
arguably the world, was a fashionable, frail, Brazilian-born aviator
named Alberto Santos-Dumont. The first to fly an airplane in Europe,
Santos also built and flew the first practical dirigibles, or
powered balloons. At a time when most balloons were at the mercy of
the wind and many still thought the airplane an impossibility,
Santos's bold exploits sparked a sensation. He was the spiritual
father of aviation, and at the same time, a flying P.T. Barnum,
intrepidly demonstrating his incredible flying machines in Paris,
London, New York, and St. Louis. NOVA brings to life the
little-known story of one of the world's great aviation pioneers
in "Wings of Madness."
Here's what you'll find online:
