		The Smithsonian Institution is to pull funding from the Oak Ridge Observatory -- the largest optical telescope in the country east of Texas -- at the end of the summer.
		Oak Ridge was built in the early 1930s because the city lights were beginning to limit Harvard University's telescope in Cambridge.
		When the observatory is closed at the end of the summer, the work formerly funded by the Smithsonian at Oak Ridge will be moved to a similar Smithsonian scope in the mountains outside of Flagstaff, Ariz., Stefanik said.

		These came from J. Gibson (Palomar Observatory), who used the 1.5-m reflector and a CCD to detect the comet on September 7 and 8, and from G. Schwartz and C.-Y. Shao (Oak Ridge Observatory), who detected the comet on September 12.
		Following the acquisition of the September images from Palomar and Oak Ridge, Marsden redetermined the orbit and derived a perihelion date of June 8.6, a perihelion distance of 2.014 AU, and an orbital period of 8.835 years.
		Magnitudes were given as 17.7 to 17.9 and the comet was said to be exhibiting a coma 9 arc seconds across and a tail 0.25 arc minute long that was extending westward.

		Approximately 20 members of the East Antrim Astronomical Society (EAAS) and an equal number of friends from the Irish Astronomical Association (Belfast) and the Irish Astronomical Society (Dublin) visited Armagh Observatory today to celebrate the naming of a minor planet or asteroid after one of their more distinguished members, Mr John McConnell.
		The asteroid, (9929)McConnell, was discovered in 1982 at the Oak Ridge Observatory, in Harvard, Massachusetts, operated by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where Armagh Observatory's former Director Dr Eric Lindsay spent a number of years working for his PhD more than 70 years ago.
		Calculations in August this year by Armagh Observatory summer students Aisling Haughey and Rebecca Clark, from St. Michael's Grammar School, Lurgan, and Guildford County School, Surrey, have shown that the asteroid's orbit is extremely stable and unlikely to alter significantly in less than at least a hundred million years.
