I have two things I was eager to tell you about:
(1) Saturn is at opposition on June 27 (though the Moon is full shortly after’. I prepared on June 22 a nice description, with sky scene and a chart of Saturn’s path for the whole year.
(2) My new book, “Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, a longer view of their history and their movements in the years ahead” (73 pages plus a rather lurid cover), was completed on June 1. I intended to display its alluring table of contents.
Both need to get from my computer via the internet to you.
Alas, while we were away on a journey our internet connection was cut off, and it may remain so for several weeks.
I will get these things to you when I can.
