Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, January 27, 2015

Deflate-gate.

Who in Ada isn't familar with this new national buzz word. It involves NLF football, the New England Patriots, and yes...Ada, Ohio.

The headline reads: "A seamstress who handed off to the NFL," with a subhead: "Watching Patriots scandal from afar, a retired football maker says Wilson did its job."

Asteroid close encounter Monday - see it at the ONU Observatory

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, January 25, 2015

The ONU Astronomy Club invites Icon viewers to a special event from 8 to 10 p.m., Monday, Jan. 26, according to Jason Pinkney. The event is free and open to the public.

“Normally we meet on Fridays, but on this day, a small asteroid (0.3 miles across) will fly safely past the Earth close enough to be seen through our telescopes. The closest approach is about three times the distance to the Moon,” he said.

Asteroid 2004 BL86 will pass through the constellation Cancer during the evening, and its motion should be detectable to the eye (unlike most asteroids).
