		Adams relates the experiences of not only seeing these rare forms of life on the edge of extinction, but of the less-glamorous process of finding them, and the even-less-glamorous bureaucratic mazes that had to be navigated in order to begin that process.
		The sense of wonder at seeing some of the world's rarest creatures is palpable, as is a growing sense of uneasiness about how humanity is impacting their shrinking environments.
		Part of that unease comes from the equation that keeps these animals' refuges operating: their rarity leads to human curiosity,a market springs up to service that curiosity with sighting tours and so on, and that market funds the wildlife operations that preserve the creatures in question.

		It is now a fourth magnitude object -- easy enough to still see if you have a good dark sky, but more challenging from a city.
		The comet has also been sporting a fine tail at least several degrees in length (your fist held out at arms length is roughly equal to ten degrees; the "Pointer Stars" at the end of the bowl of the Big Dipper are just over five degrees apart).
		Skies were so dark and clear that he was able to see stars down to seventh magnitude (the threshold of naked eye visibility is considered to be sixth magnitude).

	Chicagoist: Last Chance To See A Movie at the Esquire Tonight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Tonight is the last night you’ll be able to see a movie at the storied Esquire Theater, whose history dates back to the 1930s.
		The last movie I saw there was "As Good As It Gets" and the projectionist and a friend talked LOUDLY through the entire film, which could be clearly heard by the back 1/3 of the theater.
		The last time I was there with the theater in it’s original condition was in 1984 for the long version of ‘Once Upon a Time in America’, and the place was a stunner (and so was the movie, for that matter).

	Endangered Animals : Another Chance To See
		In the late 1980s, Douglas Adams, creator of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and broadcaster and zoologist Mark Carwardine travelled around the world, visiting endangered animals, hoping it would not be their "Last Chance To See".
		Following last month's post about the Honda F1 'Earth Car' initiative, I made the pledge to replace at least three regular lightbulbs in my house to the more energy efficient kind.

		In Last Chance to See, you show that you have a true narrative gift, for those who may have doubted it after reading your famous five-book trilogy, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
		I couldn’t help but think this made Last Chance to See’s point of view a little misleading, because Mark only gets an epilogue near the end - I know this because the whole rest of the book in written in a first-person format, and that person happens to be you.
		Your contributions to Last Chance to See are greatly appreciated, and as I can see you were once a Conservation Officer with the World Wildlife Fund, all I have to say is, great job.

		In LAST CHANCE TO SEE, Adams does for the non-fiction natural world what he did for science fiction: he tells an entertaining story that brings each character to vivid life for a reader.
		Adams is joined by zoologist Mark Carwardine, as they use their last chance to see a variety of animals on the brink of extinction, such as the Komodo Dragon, the White Rhinos of Zaire, New Zealand kakapos, and Yangtze river dolphins.
		Adams, amateur wildlife lover, is wise enough to know the purpose of his journey: to shine some of the glare from his celebrity as a "science-fiction comedy novelist" on the issue of global extinction.

	Last Chance To See Halley's Comet, Alaska Science Forum
		For most northerners, the middle of December will probably mark the last chance they have to glimpse Halley's Comet.
		We'll call the angular separation between the point of your thumb and the tip of your little finger a "hand." By this convention a "finger," of course, is the angle subtended by the width (not length) of a finger with your arm outstretched.
		During the weekend of December 14-15, you should be able to pick up the faint glow of the comet with a good pair of binoculars if you look beneath the square of Pegasus at a distance of four or five finger widths below its lower edge.
