	Vivendi Universal, S.A.: Lit. Rel. No. 18373 / September 29, 2003
		The orders are the result of an application that the SEC made on September 16, 2003 for an escrow order pursuant to Section 1103 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and an emergency motion that the SEC filed on September 23, 2003 to halt Messier's efforts to collect on the state court judgment.
		The SEC filed the Section 1103 application after Messier obtained a judgment in New York State Court on September 11, 2003 enforcing an arbitration panel's decision ordering Vivendi to pay Messier €20,555,342 (or approximately $23 million) pursuant to a termination agreement with Vivendi.
		After negotiations between the SEC, Vivendi and Messier to reach an agreement to postpone any further collection efforts failed, the SEC filed a motion on September 23, 2003 seeking an order (1) prohibiting Vivendi and others (including banks) from transferring any assets to Messier, and (2) prohibiting efforts to collect on the state judgment.

	Ancient Messier leads East to All-Star win
		Messier's assist made him the all-time All-Star leader with 14, breaking a tie with Raymond Bourque and his two points moved him past Gordie Howe to third on the all-time points list with 20.
		Messier also became the third-oldest player in NHL history to appear in an All-Star Game as he appeared for the first time since 2000 and for the first time as a Ranger since 1997.
		Messier tied the score at 3-3 at 13:48 of the second period, tapping in a great backhanded pass from the Devils Scott Niedermayer past Vokoun at the right post.

	Multiwavelength Messier 20 - Trifid Nebula
		Messier 20 is more commonly known as the Trifid Nebula and is a favorite photographic target of amateur astronomers.
		Messier 20 is an emission nebula and the reddish color is produced by the characteristic light of (fluorescent) hydrogen gas.
		The far-infrared view of Messier 20 (above) was obtained by the IRAS satellite at 100 microns.

	D/1770 L1 (Lexell)
		Messier added that the comet was rather similar to the nebula situated between the head and bow of Sagittarius [Probably M22, which has a total magnitude of 5.1 and a diameter of 24'].
		Messier said the coma was 5' 23" across, with a central nucleus measuring 22".
		Messier's positions over a period of nearly two hours indicated the comet was moving northward at a rate of 15.5° per day.

		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).
		A list of 20 bright stars (Sirius, Riegel, et cetera) and their coordinates was also drawn up to be used for periodic calibration of our telescope's setting circles throughout the night.

	Complaint: Vivendi Universal, S.A., Jean-Marie Messier, and Guillaume Hannezo
		As Vivendi and its executive officers, including Messier and Hannezo, knew or were reckless in not knowing, the Company's financial condition at this time was worse than Vivendi indicated because of its inability unilaterally to access the earnings and cash flow of two of its most profitable subsidiaries, Cegetel and Maroc Telecom.
		As Vivendi, Messier, Hannezo and other Vivendi executive officers knew or were reckless in not knowing during the relevant time period, Vivendi's inability unilaterally to access that cash flow substantially impaired Vivendi's ability to satisfy the debt obligations and other operating costs that Vivendi had amassed in connection with its many acquisitions.
		Issue an Order requiring Defendants Messier and Hannezo to provide an accounting of all proceeds received, directly or indirectly, as a result of the acts and/or courses of conduct complained of herein, including, but not limited to, bonuses and salaries received during the relevant time period.

	Bloomberg.com: Europe
		Vivendi is selling some of the $77 billion in assets acquired by Messier to reduce debt, which stood at 14 billion euros on May 31.
		Messier, 46, lost support from the board after his plan to transform the 150-year-old water and trash business into a rival of AOL Time Warner Inc. left Vivendi on the brink of bankruptcy with 36.9 billion euros in net losses in two years.
		Messier sold 152,000 shares on Dec. 21, 2001, for 9 million euros to help repay a loan of 5 million euros he took to buy Vivendi shares, his lawyer Olivier Metzner said in April.

	Messier Object 20
		Charles Messier discovered this object on June 5, 1764, and described it as a cluster of stars of 8th to 9th magnitude, enveloped in nebulosity.
		This may have caused William Herschel, who normally carefully avoided to number Messier's objects in his catalog, to assign four different numbers to parts of this nebula: H IV.41 (cataloged May 26, 1786) and H V.10, H V.11, H V.12 (dated July 12, 1784).
		That he numbered this object at all may have its reason in the fact that Messier merely described it as 'Cluster of Stars.' The name 'Trifid' was first used by John Herschel to describe this nebula.

		Messier's short-handed goal moved into third place on the NHL's career scoring list, and his second-period assist helped seal the New York Rangers' 6-3 victory over the Washington Capitals on Monday night.
		Messier, the 40-year-old Rangers captain who has 650 goals and 1,123 assists, scored his 23rd goal of the season 5:45 into the game — the first of New York's four first-period goals.
		Messier opened the scoring when he converted a rebound of Radek Dvorak's long shot.

		The Vancouver Canucks have signed free agent star Mark Messier to a $20 million, three-year contract, but the deal likely hurts Messier's former team, the New York Rangers, more than it helps the Canucks.
		Messier is a great offensive player but the Canucks are mostly lacking in defense.
		An aging team that depended on extraordinary performances by Messier, Gretzky, Brian Leetch and Mike Richter to get beyond the first round of the playoffs, the Rangers cannot be patted on the back for taking it for granted they had Messier locked up.

	M20 - Trifid Nebula - Sagittarius
		Messier 20, (NGC 6514), the Trifid Nebula, is a bright nebulous region in the western part of Sagittarius, about 1.3 degrees to the north of the Lagoon Nebula.
		It was catalogued and given the designation M20 by Messier in June 1764.
		Hence low elevation turbulence becomes a major problem, but in CCD imaging there is a further and even more intractable problem: low elevations cause spectral dispersion of the star image through atmospheric refraction.

	Messier Marathon Observer's Results
		He hunted down 109 Messier objects with his 13.1-inch reflector (all but M30 which was impossible at his latitude at this time), and verified 101 of them with an 11x80 binoculars before the objective lenses fogged/frosted over.
		Phil Harrington managed to find 102 Messier objects on the occasion of a marathon hold on April 4/5, 1992 from Westport, CT. He participated in the Westport Astronomical Society's Messier Marathon and used their 12.5-inch reflector at Rolnick Observatory, together with various club members on a rotating basis.
		Messier Marathon inventor Tom Hoffelder finally managed to hold a 20th anniversary marathon in the night of April 6-7, 1997, from a place near Tulsa, Oklahoma, and logged 101 Messier objects, by chance the same number as in his first marathon 20 years ago.

	Weasner's Meade ETX Site
		Messier 55 is an unusually large and open globular; although its total magnitude is a bright 4.4, its brightness is spread out over a large 10' arc area, making it more difficult than it would appear.
		Messier 11 in Scutum sets the standards for all galactic star clusters, so I wanted you to remember this one first before moving on to the nice open clusters (but none to compare) in Sagittarius.
		Messier 17, also known as the "Swan Nebula" and the "Horseshoe Nebula" is about 7' arc long and some 2' arc across with a visual magnitude of only 8.9.....misleading.

	Messier Object 20
		Charles Messier découvrit cet objet le 5 Juin 1764 et le décrivit comme un amas d'étoiles de 8ème et 9ème magnitude, environné de nébulosité.
		Ceci explique peut-être pourquoi William Herschel, qui normalement évitait soigneusement de reporter les objets de Messier dans son catalogue, attribua quatre numéros différents pour désigner les parties de cette nébuleuse : H IV.41 (cataloguée le 26 Mai 1786) puis H V.10, H V.11, H V.12.
		Mais que finalement il ait retenu cet objet peut s'expliquer par le fait que Messier le présentait seulement comme un "amas d'étoiles".
