	Charles Messier
		Messier as loyal employee stated: "I was a loyal servant of M. Delisle, I lived with him in his house, and I conformed with his command." When Delisle finally announced the discovery on April 1, 1759, it was not believed by the other French astronomers (perhaps they took it as an April Fool's joke).
		The Messier catalog was finally corrected by identifying at least 3 of the 4 missing objects, and brought into its current state by adding the late discoveries of Messier and Mechain, M104--M109, plus the non-cataloged discovery M110, only in the 20th century.
		Messier was appointed as associate editor of the Connaissance des Temps in 1785, and hold this post for five years until 1790.

		M15, (Messier 15): 40,000 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Pegasus, it is one of nearly 150 known globular clusters that form a halo around our Milky Way galaxy.
		Messier 15, blue stars (cont.): A HST image of the center of the globular cluster M15 reveals a new population of about 15 very hot stars isolated at the core.
		Another more revealing name might be the "Twin Jet Nebula." Indeed, because of the nebula's shape and the measured velocity of the gas, in excess of 200 miles per second, astronomers believe that the description as a super-super-sonic jet exhaust is quite apt.

		The Messier Catalogue was compiled by Charles Messier in the 1700's as he searched for comets, but in order to understand the catalogue it is important to understand the man behind it.
		Charles Messier was born on June 26,1730 in Lorraine, France the tenth of twelve children.
		Messier's wife died in 1798 and he was left alone.

		Messier further alienated his countrymen by publicly firing Pierre Lescure, long-time president of subsidiary Canal Plus, just weeks after giving Lescure two years to reverse the pay TV station's losses.
		The move provoked open rebellion by the channel's staff and increasing suspicion that Messier was preparing austerity measures to include slashing Canal Plus' funding of French cinema — thus ending its central role in preserving the cultural exception he had declared dead.
		Their view that Messier would bankrupt his corporate creation — discrediting the entire Paris Bourse in the process — was pressed upon Chirac allies on Vivendi's board, and down went Messier.

		Near the time of the spring equinox it is possible for an experienced observer to view all the Messier objects in one night.
		To count as a genuine photograph of a Messier object, images on standard 3.5 x 5-inch prints or on contact prints of the negative sheet had to be easily recognizable as being the Messier object claimed when compared to the photographs in the Messier Album by Mallas and Kreimer.
		A field notebook was prepared containing a list of all the Messier objects, their size, type, and estimated magnitude, as well as their coordinates (2000).

	Messier Object 15
		M15 was discovered by Jean-Dominique Maraldi (Maraldi II, 1709-88) on September 7, 1746 while he was looking for De Chéseaux' comet; he described it as 'A nebulous star, fairly bright and composed of many stars'.
		Charles Messier, who cataloged it on June 3, 1764, and Johann Elert Bode couldn't make this out and described it as 'nebula without stars,' so that it remained to William Herschel in 1783 to resolve this fine star cluster.
		M15 was the first globular cluster in which a planetary nebula, Pease 1 or K 648 ("K" for "Kuster"), could be identified (Pease 1928, on photographic plates taken at Mt. Wilson in 1927).

		Messier himself is a product of the Establishment, having traveled the classic path from elite schools to a government ministry to the executive suite.
		They stuck with Messier even after it became clear by last spring that the company was in trouble and the board's American minority wanted him out.
		The powers that be in France made it known to Messier that he risked losing valuable broadcast licenses and municipal-utility contracts if he sold these assets to non-French investors.

	Messier Gets Costlier for Vivendi
		Shares in Vivendi Universal fell 15 cents Monday to close at $17.55.
		Messier, who attempted to transform a France-based utilities company into a global media and entertainment company, was ousted from Vivendi Universal last year after allegations that he had seriously misrepresented the company's financial health.
		Since then, Messier's successor, Jean-Rene Fourtou, has attempted to improve Vivendi Universal's liquidity and cut its debt by divesting many businesses that the company had acquired under Messier's plan.

		Although containing only ONE deep sky object - Messier 15 - Pegasus is a wonderful constellation for close study,with many faint galaxies, scores of wonderful double and multiple stars and some fascinating early lore and history associated with the constellation itself as well as many of the stars within it.
		At dark on August 15 each year, from about 35 degrees north latitude, the square of Pegasus will be seen rising in the ENE sky about 9 p.m.
		Messier 15 is more elliptical than spherical, and this oval shape is unmistakable in the ETX 90 at medium (about 75x) powers.
