	Messier 4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Globular Cluster M4 (also known as Messier Object 4 or NGC 6121) is a globular cluster in the constellation Scorpius.
		It was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1746 and catalogued by Charles Messier in 1764.
		This was the first globular cluster in which individual stars were resolved.

	Interview with Director of Photography Jake Messier, 4/05
		Messier was in his junior year of college, majoring in education, when he decided he didn't want to spend the rest of his life in a classroom.
		Messier says that they had one PA in the camera department on "You Are Alone" who was working so hard for so long that they promoted him to Second Assistant Camera.
		According to Messier, all the skills needed to be a good DP cannot be learned, "You have to have an eye for photography, but you also need the heart for it." Like any job, the work of the DP can have its frustrations, but Messier says, "When it's good, it's really good.

		Mark Messier, who led the New York Rangers in 1994 to their first Stanley Cup in 54 years, had his No. 11 jersey retired on Thursday in an emotional celebration at Madison Square Garden.
		Messier, who enjoys a passion for deep sea fishing, was presented with a fishing chair and four sets of heavy rods and reels.
		Messier is perhaps best remembered in New York for the bold guarantee he made when the Rangers faced elimination in the playoffs during their '94 Stanley Cup run.

		It was discovered by Messier in the year 1764, and duly reported in the Connoissance des Temps.
		In 1783, Sir William Herschel resolved this object into stars; and gauging it by a modification of the method which he applied to fathom the Galaxy, he concluded that his 10-foot reflector, having the power to show stars exceeding that of the eye 28.67 times, gave the profundity of this cluster of the 344th order.

		Messier objects are stellar objects, classified by astronomer Charles Messier in the 18th century, ranging from distant galaxies to star clusters to stellar nebula.
		Messier entered objects into the list as he found them.
		One of the great pursuits for amateur astronomers is to do a Messier Marathon, trying to view all of the objects in Messier's catalog in one night.

		Guillot and others (4) also speculate that Peg 51 B may indeed be a tidally stripped brown dwarf or other star.
		One, which is known as the Salamander Scenario, (4) is that the planet existed around the star before it went supernova and somehow survived, while the other theory known as the Memnonides Scenario (5) and which seems to be more plausible, is that the planet formed after the star went supernova and became a pulsar.
		Chakrabarti and Swamy (4) argue that due to the way a planetary system was formed around a pulsar, a series of planetismals should also be present.

	M 24 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Messier object number 24 is not a "true" deep sky object, but a huge star cloud in Milky Way, a pseudo-cluster of stars spread thousands of light years along the line of sight, perceived through a chance tunnel in the interstellar dust.
		These clear windows through the Galaxy have great significance in the study of galactic structure, since they make it possible to study otherwise hidden, distant regions.
		Many catalogs give the Messier number to this object, despite Messier's magnitude (4.5--4.6), diameter (1.5 degrees), and his description as a "large nebulosity in which there are many stars of different magnitudes," which matches well with the cloud and not the cluster.

		Globular cluster M4 was discovered by De Chéseaux in 1745-46 and listed by him as No. 19, and included in Lacaille's catalog as Lacaille I.9.
		Charles Messier cataloged it on May 8, 1764 and was the first to resolve it into a "cluster of very small [faint] stars;" this is the only globular cluster he could resolve with his moderate instruments, and thus the first globular cluster ever to be resolved.
		Only about 20 years later, William Herschel was able to resolve all Messier globulars with his large telescopes.

		A.M. Clerke, in 1905, remarked that this "dim cloudlet (for the naked eye) near Mu Sagittarii" was named "Delle Caustiche" by Fr.
		Although this is what Messier discovered, it is interesting that, within this stellar cloud which is easily visible to the naked eye, there's a dim open cluster, NGC 6603, of magnitude 11.
