The appearance of the nucleus of this comet was kind of surprising, and different from other comet nuclei that have been recording in spacecraft type detail, so that was quite exciting.

The real limitation to determining the temperature is the assumption that there is a single temperature to be measured.

We've identified a new type of object that by the shape of its orbit is definitely a main-belt asteroid, but by its appearance is definitely a comet. It fits into both categories.

We need a lot of things. I think we've got a nucleus. I don't think we're as bad as our record, but we're not a playoff team. We can make a jump here if things are hit right between free agency and the draft.

I indicated that this would be done to avoid even the appearance that anyone connected with the court was doing anything wrong or improper.

Most of the benthic macroalgae were gone, giving reefs in the lower Keys a clean appearance not seen in years. Also missing were many elkhorn corals, sponges and urchins -- broken or swept away by the raw power of a storm surge that bent 18-inch steel I-beams.
