News: The Detroit News has an article on the front of its Metro section today about astronomy and the planet grouping in the western sky -- http://www.detnews.com/2002/metro/0205/02/d01-479661.htm

Comment: It's nice to see the general media once again highlighting the planetary grouping and encouraging people to get outside and look at it. I also like the photo that shows astronomy as a friendly, family-oriented activity.

The reporter writes about how affordable telescopes are helping to popularize our hobby. I sent him an e-mail suggesting that he do a follow-up article sometime about the huge influence of cheap computerized scopes like the Meade ETX.

News: Tornado that hits Maryland was a highest-level "F5". Is Michigan next? -- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A4736-2002Apr29.html

Comment: Rob Dale, meteorologist for TV6, said at our astronomy club meeting last night that there is some indication that the weather pattern creating severe storms across the mid-South will shift up into Michigan in mid-May.
