We used plates of the Maria Mitchell Observatory collection to recover nine ``lost'' variable stars in Cygnus and Saggitarius (where the collection is especially rich): NY Cyg, QX Cyg, VW Sgr, GW Sgr, GZ Sgr, HK Sgr, HT Sgr, HU Sgr, and HW Sgr.
In the latter case, either the star was misclassified by the discoverer or the discoverer's position for HW Sgr is grossly in error, and we have actually found another variable.
The importance of accurate positions for all variable stars previously discovered will be discussed in connection with mass discoveries of variable stars in modern automatic surveys.

`Lost in the Stars' and `Johnny Johnson' are two Broadway shows scored by Kurt Weill in collaboration with Maxwell Anderson and Paul Green respectively for the librettos, both in English.
`Lost in the Stars' is based on Alan Paton's novel, `Cry, the Beloved Country' and was written after World War II, in 1948-1949, and has much of the musical interest of what is missing from `Johnny Johnson'.
I will say that the performances of both vocalists and orchestra are excellent on both; however the vocalists on `Lost in the Stars' seem to give just a little extra, possibly because their material is just a bit more substantial.

 Amazon.ca: DVD: American Film Theatre: Lost In The Stars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Lost in the Stars is a far from perfect musical, but its strengths are such that most viewers willingly overlook its flaws.
Criticized by many for presenting a view of apartheid that they see as somewhat patronizing (a charge that applies equally to the book upon which the musical is based), the larger problem with Stars is that Maxwell Anderson and Alfred Hayes' screenplay is often too earnest and polemical.
Most importantly, Stars benefits from a glorious, transcendent Kurt Weill score that includes the haunting and overwhelming title song and the tortured "Cry the Beloved Country," as well as the beautiful "Trouble Man." Director Daniel Mann's work is a tad unimaginative, especially given the material, but he handles his cast very well.

 Gemini Uncovers 'Lost City' Of Stars
Like archaeologists unearthing a 'lost city', astronomers using the 8-meter Gemini South telescope have revealed that the galaxy NGC 300 has a large, faint extended disk made of ancient stars, enlarging the known diameter of the galaxy by a factor of two or more.
The team used the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph on the Gemini South telescope in Chile, and were able to clearly resolve extremely faint stars in the disk up to 47,000 light-years from the galaxy's center—double the previously known radius of the disk.
The observers traced NGC 300's disk out to the point where the surface density of stars was equivalent to a one- thousandth of a sun per square light-year.

Misbehavior from our richest pop stars and movie stars is so predictable a pattern that it ought to be an easy lesson for every parent -- about how fame and fortune can cause people to lose all their moral bearings and act as if they are Hollywood gods, accountable to no one.
