	Canadians' Contributions to Astronomy
		When the University of Toronto's David Dunlap Observatory opened in Richmond Hill, Ontario in 1935, its 1.88m telescope was the second-largest in the world (and the Victoria telescope was third-largest); thus, university research in astronomy developed in parallel with government research.
		Canadian-born astronomer Wendy Freedman is a leader of the Hubble Space Telescope's "key project" to determine the size scale and age of the universe.
		The late Helen Sawyer Hogg (University of Toronto) was probably Canada's best-known astronomer, as a result of her internationally-recognized research on globular star clusters, her leadership in astronomical organizations, and her weekly article which appeared in Canada's largest newspaper for 40 years.

		Eugene Shoemaker, his wife Carolyn, and the amateur astronomer, David Levy, were involved in routine observations the evening of 23 March 1993, a dark and cloudy night with stormy weather on its way.
		They are named after the German astronomer Heinrich Kreutz (1854-1907) who found that many of the comets, which had come closest to the Sun in the 19th century, seemed to have a common origin with similar orbits.
		Astronomers are therefore taking a census of everything out there that is big enough and close enough to threaten us (Fig.

		Astronomers do teach us more about the Universe and the solar system we live in, but more importantly, they show that if we understand other worlds, we will understand our own better.
		David Levy: No -- the comet would be going fastest when it is closest to the Sun, then would slow down as it tries to leave the Sun's vicinity.
		David Levy: Yes, and I think that ultimately, the station will be good for the world in ways that we cannot even imagine now.

		It was first detected in a photograph taken on the night of March 24, 1993 with the 0.4-meter Schmidt telescope at the Mount Palomar Observatory in California, and subsequently observed by many other astronomers.
		The comet was extremely unusual because it was in fragments, evidently due to a close encounter with the planet Jupiter in July 1992.
		The event was closely observed and recorded by astronomers worldwide, because of its tremendous scientific importance.

	Levy, D.H.: Shoemaker by Levy: The Man Who Made an Impact.
		It was a lucky twist of fate when in the early1980s David Levy, a writer and amateur astronomer, joined up with the famous scientist Eugene Shoemaker and his wife, Carolyn, to search for comets from an observation post on Palomar Mountain in Southern California.
		A year later, Levy would be by the Shoemakers' side again when their comet ended its four-billion-year-long journey through the solar system and collided with Jupiter in the most stunning astronomical display of the century.
		Levy's explanation of the scientific reasoning that guided Shoemaker in his career up to this dramatic point--as well as his personal portrait of a man who found white-water rafting to be an easy way to relax--sets these fascinating events in a human scale.
