Behold, directly overhead, a certain strange star was suddenly seen...
Amazed, and as if astonished and stupefied, I stood still.

President Obama Presents a Night of Astronomy

President Obama Presents a Night of Astronomy

Interesting. The young girl with the blue top on Mrs. Obama's right is Caroline Moore. If you went to the NJAG's September 2009 meeting, Caroline spoke about discovering a supernova. She is the youngest person to ever discover a supernova. She also wrote the essay for Sky and Telescope's October issue. She is also a member of the Rockland Astronomy Club. Let's wish her well.
