Dying to Ask
Two writers and an illustrator walk into a book and find themselves with thirty-eight questions about death asked by boys and girls between 5 and 15 years old. How and what will they answer? For mortal beings of all ages comes Dying to Ask, the result of an international project where children were invited to ask questions about death based on a series of workshops. The result? Hundreds of questions from countries all over the world. Herein lies thirty-eight questions that best represented the breadth and depth of children’s interest in death and related matters, complete with psychological and scientific proofing. Thoughtful, tender, and surprisingly joyful, this illustrated book is an invitation to talk, think, and ask further questions about death. Some of the questions: Will I die? Where do we go when we die? Will we all become extinct one day? If someone you love dies, how long are you sad for? Why do people say “rest in peace” rather than “rest in fun?”
A Catalogue of 1963 Stars Reduced to the Beginning of the Year 1850,
In consequence of a letter received from Dr. C.L. Gerling in the summer of 1847, urging the desirability of observing the planet Venus about the time when it is stationary, in order to obtain a better value of the solar parallax than Encke's, which was then generally adopted, Captain James M. Gillis, of the United States Navy, conceived of an astronomical expedition to Chili for the purpose of making the required observations in conjunction with the United States Naval Observatory at Washington.

Catalogue of Stars Observed at the United States Naval Observatory During the Years 1845 to 1871
The stars consisted mainly of stars used in the Army surveys for observations with the zenith telescope, many stars in the lists of the Coast Survey, and many of Lacaille's stars which had mostly been observed by Lacaille only, and for observing which our Observatory was favorably situated. During these years, Mr. James Ferguson, who so faithfully labored for so many years with the Equatorial, was making constant demands upon me (Yarnall) for observations of comparison stars for the objects observed by him; and this will account for the great number of small stars in the Catalogue.
