"..French astronomer Charles Messier died #OTD in 1817.

He is best known for his catalog, the Messier Catalog (contains 110 objects), which lists various astronomical objects, including nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. Messier was primarily interested in comet hunting, and his catalog was created to help him and other astronomers differentiate between permanent celestial objects and comets, which could easily be mistaken for new discoveries.."

I'm doing the Messier challenge, trying to see all 110 though m telescope. You have to find the objects yourself and can not use a computerized telescope. You find a star you know and look nearby. Then you star hop.

FFL is highly trained. One of their guys came to Ft.Knox and beat our very best obstacle course time there by 60 %.
   That base record HAD been held by a Green Beret training officer.

I knew a guy a few years ago that served with them. He had some truly horrific stories. They are sent to the worst places.

"..#OtD 13 Apr 1985 Danuta Danielsson, the Polish-Jewish daughter of a Holocaust survivor, hit a neo-Nazi on the head with her handbag in Växjö, Sweden. The Nazis were then chased out of town.."

Body of 14 year old Israeli shepherd found on West Bank.

Who killed him?   Most likely the IDF.
