Winnix Monday contribution. A drabble based off these two photos and a continuation of last week's piece because I believe this was taken at the same time as that photo considering what they are wearing (Dick- smile reserved for Nix and coveralls, and Nix shoulder patch) and the building in the background.

drabble under the cut

“What do you mean I come across as aggressive?”  Nix asked as he tried to get away from the regimental photographer before he could snap another picture.  He smirked, knowing he said that with the exact same attitude Dick was referring to.

“Well, I know you, but the other guys…”  Dick looked over his shoulder as Al Krocha snapped some pictures of the men.   Nix walking away made him realize how much he really wanted a picture of him.   “Hey, Nix.   Stop walking so fast, don’t you want a photo to send home to your folks?”

Nix laughed.  “I have successfully avoided all but a mandatory company photo for the wall in my Dad’s office.   None at Yale.  None in the paper since that one in Central Park as a kid.   Even forced my Mom to have an artist sketch me because I didn’t want my photo taken.  Skipped the wedding picture too, straight to the courthouse, no cameras. So no, I don't need a picture of me in uniform for Mom to bemoan how the shirt should be tailored and Dad to put in the Home News for good PR.”

“What about one for me?”  Dick asked and it sounded so…well, bad enough it stopped Nix in his tracks and made him turn and raise his eyebrows.  A playful smirk came over Lew's lips and only made Dick want to start whispering because this felt...electric again. It reminded him of the feeling he'd get when he was painting telephone poles-- the height danger ignored to get the job done, but you could never ignore the hum and crackle of energy above your head as it traveled through the lines. Nix was the power line when he was like this and he had to remind himself of discipline once more.; this energy was dangerous.

“Why, I do declare, Mr. Winters, are you trying to get a photo for your nightstand?  What about your girl?”

Dick felt his cheeks flush a little and hoped Nix just thought it was because he mentioned DeEtta.   DeEtta who was planning a trip to Lancaster to visit his parents without him because he was here…at OCS.   He glanced over at Krocha making the rounds, trying to avoid eye contact with Nix.  He heard the click of the camera, saw the flash, tried to regain focus.

Discipline.   You have to let this go, Dick.   You get a photo and what will you do with it?  Let it erode any semblance of strength you have?

“You’re one of the best friends I have ever had.   I want a picture, Lew.”  Dick said and finally looked back at him and saw that something in his eye again.   Lewis Nixon was too damned smart and too in tune with him to not know this was more than a simple request.   “Proof you existed.  When I tell stories about you, nobody is going to believe I knew you.”

Nix hummed, glanced at the photographer getting closer, then back at Dick.   “What kind of stories are you planning to tell?”

“Stories about the most brilliant gentleman I ever met who didn’t need to be here.  Who could have used his name and influence to be anywhere but in the army.   A good man who became a good friend, who helped me study tactics and hid his Vat 69 in my foot locker.”

“Flatterer.”  Nix said and rolled his eyes.  “Fine.  One picture.  Only if you explain why you think my aggressive tone scares off those guys when I’m being passionate about this project.”

“It’s because you’re from New Jersey.”  Dick answered and looked over at the other officer candidates smiling and taking pictures with each other.  “And you think they’re idiots.”

“It’s because they are fucking idiots.   Fine.  One picture.”  Nix said and Dick’s face lit up.    He was still staring at him when Krocha came by and snapped his photo of Dick smiling at him.   He turned just in time to stand there looking like a petulant child who didn’t want his picture taken by his Mother while they were at a social function or visiting France–schoolbooks and all.

Cryptid of the Day: Bermuda Triangle Jellyfish

Description: In his book, The Devil’s Triangle, Richard Winer described seeing a 50ft jellyfish south of Bermuda. Winer had a camera, but when the jellyfish showed up, he had run out of film. It was later speculated that it was a giant squid or giant octopus.

Diver Discovers a 900-Year-Old Crusader Sword Off Israel’s Coast

The four-foot-long weapon is encrusted in marine organisms but otherwise in “perfect condition”.

A man diving off the coast of northern Israel, not far from his home, recently stumbled onto a 900-year-old sword dated to the time of the Crusades. Shlomi Katzin, a resident of the town of Atlit, spotted the sword and other centuries-old artifacts on the sea bed off the Carmel coast, where shifting sands had apparently made them suddenly visible, reports Nicky Blackburn.

The four-foot-long sword was covered in shells and other remnants of sea life. Katzin reported the discovery to the Israel Antiquities Authority’s (IAA) robbery prevention unit.

“The sword, which has been preserved in perfect condition, is a beautiful and rare find and evidently belonged to a Crusader knight,” says IAA inspector Nir Distelfeld in a statement. “It was found encrusted with marine organisms, but is apparently made of iron. It is exciting to encounter such a personal object, taking you 900 years back in time to a different era, with knights, armor and swords.”

Archaeologists had already been monitoring the area, a natural cove that offered shelter to ships for millennia, before Katzin’s find, reports Stuart Winer for the Times of Israel. Earlier discoveries have shown that the site was active as long as 4,000 years ago.

Unpredictable conditions in the ocean often bring artifacts to the surface; a rise in the number of people diving recreationally in the area means that more of these objects have reemerged in recent years, says Koby Sharvit, director of the IAA’s marine archaeology unit, in the statement.

“Even the smallest storm moves the sand and reveals areas on the seabed, meanwhile burying others,” Sharvit adds.

In addition to the sword, Katzin spotted pottery fragments and stone and metal anchors, per the Jerusalem Post’s Rossella Tercatin.

Starting in the 11th century, leaders of European nations and the Roman Catholic Church sent Crusader armies to the Middle East to seize sites considered holy by Christians from Muslim rulers. After the Muslim sultan Saladin retook Jerusalem from the Crusaders in 1187, England’s Richard I led an army against him, traveling south along Israel’s coast from Acre to Jaffa and winning what Richard Spencer of the London Times deems a “great but ultimately pyrrhic victory.”

Since the sword is still covered in encrustations, it’s impossible to say much about it, Sa’ar Nudel, an archaeologist who studies weapons from the Crusades, tells Haaretz’s Ruth Schuster. The Crusaders and their Muslim Ayyubid and Mamluk opponents all typically used straight swords of similar size and shape, archaeologist Rafi Lewis adds.

“The basic shape of the weapon, a straight sword, didn’t evolve much from the time of the Vikings to the 14th century,” he tells Haaretz.

According to Sharvit, the fact that the sword was found more than 600 feet from the coast suggests it was a Crusader’s weapon. Muslim forces built fortifications along the coast as defenses against arriving Christian forces but didn’t travel by sea themselves.

“They destroyed the coastal cities so the Crusaders couldn’t return and reconquer the Holy Land,” the archaeologist says to Haaretz.

The sword is now in the hands of the IAA’s National Treasures Department, per Israel 21c. IAA scientists plan to clean and study the weapon before putting it on display to the public.

Ciri-ciri Kepribadian Orang yang Sangat Cerdas

Selama di Quora, lebih dari 100 orang telah menjawab pertanyaan, "Apa ciri-ciri umum orang yang sangat cerdas?"

Beberapa pengguna mengaku tahu dari pengalaman pribadi; yang lain hanya menebak-nebak, Ternyata, banyak pengguna memberikan jawaban yang akan disetujui peneliti.

Kami menarik delapan tanggapan Quora yang paling menarik dan menjelaskan sains di belakangnya - dan katakan saja kami merasa jauh lebih pintar sekarang.

Mereka sangat mudah beradaptasi

Beberapa pengguna Quora mencatat bahwa orang cerdas fleksibel dan mampu berkembang dalam pengaturan yang berbeda. Seperti ditulis Donna F Hammett, orang-orang cerdas beradaptasi dengan "menunjukkan apa yang bisa dilakukan terlepas dari kerumitan atau batasan yang diberikan pada mereka."

Penelitian psikologis terbaru mendukung gagasan ini. Kecerdasan bergantung pada kemampuan untuk mengubah perilaku Anda sendiri untuk mengatasi lingkungan Anda dengan lebih efektif, atau membuat perubahan pada lingkungan tempat Anda berada.

Mereka mengerti betapa mereka tidak tahu.

Orang-orang terpandai dapat mengakui ketika mereka tidak terbiasa dengan konsep tertentu. Seperti yang ditulis Jim Winer, orang-orang cerdas "tidak takut mengatakan: 'Saya tidak tahu.' Jika mereka tidak mengetahuinya, mereka dapat mempelajarinya. "

Pengamatan Winer didukung oleh penelitian klasik oleh Justin Kruger dan David Dunning, yang menemukan bahwa semakin kurang cerdas Anda, semakin Anda melebih-lebihkan kemampuan kognitif Anda.

Mereka memiliki rasa ingin tahu yang tak pernah puas.

Albert Einstein dilaporkan berkata, "Saya tidak punya bakat khusus, saya hanya ingin tahu."

Atau, seperti yang dikatakan Keyzurbur Alas, "Orang cerdas membiarkan diri mereka terpesona oleh hal-hal yang diterima orang lain begitu saja."

Penelitian yang diterbitkan pada tahun 2016 menunjukkan ada hubungan antara kecerdasan anak dan keterbukaan terhadap pengalaman - yang mencakup keingintahuan intelektual - di masa dewasa.

Mereka berpikiran terbuka.

Orang pintar tidak menutup diri dengan ide atau peluang baru. Hammett menulis bahwa orang cerdas "mau menerima dan mempertimbangkan pandangan lain dengan nilai dan pikiran yang luas," dan bahwa mereka "terbuka untuk solusi alternatif."

Para psikolog mengatakan bahwa orang-orang yang berpikiran terbuka - mereka yang mencari sudut pandang alternatif dan menimbang bukti secara adil - cenderung mendapat skor lebih tinggi pada SAT dan pada tes kecerdasan.

Pada saat yang sama, orang pintar berhati-hati tentang ide dan perspektif mana yang mereka adopsi.

Mereka menyukai perusahaan mereka sendiri.

Richard He menunjukkan bahwa orang yang sangat cerdas cenderung "sangat individualistis."

Yang menarik, penelitian terbaru menunjukkan bahwa orang yang lebih cerdas cenderung memperoleh kepuasan yang lebih rendah daripada kebanyakan orang yang bersosialisasi dengan teman

Mereka memiliki kontrol diri yang tinggi.

Zoher Ali menulis bahwa orang-orang pintar dapat mengatasi impulsif dengan "merencanakan, mengklarifikasi tujuan, mengeksplorasi strategi alternatif, dan mempertimbangkan konsekuensi sebelum [mereka] mulai."

Para ilmuwan telah menemukan hubungan antara kontrol diri dan kecerdasan. Dalam satu studi 2009, peserta harus memilih antara dua penghargaan keuangan: pembayaran yang lebih kecil segera atau pembayaran yang lebih besar di kemudian hari.

Hasil menunjukkan bahwa peserta yang memilih pembayaran lebih besar di kemudian hari - yaitu, mereka yang memiliki lebih banyak kontrol diri - umumnya mendapat skor lebih tinggi pada tes kecerdasan.

Para peneliti di balik penelitian itu mengatakan satu area otak - korteks prefrontal anterior - mungkin memainkan peran dalam membantu orang memecahkan masalah sulit dan menunjukkan kontrol diri saat bekerja menuju tujuan.

ĐAVOLJI TROKUT – RICHARD WINER

[webionaire]

Metro Pictures was founded in 1980 by Janelle Reiring, formerly of Leo Castelli Gallery, and Helene Winer, formerly of Artists Space, at 169 Mercer Street in New York. The gallery’s inaugural exhibitions featured artists such as Cindy Sherman, Robert Longo, Troy Brauntuch, Jack Goldstein, Louise Lawler, Sherrie Levine, James Welling, Richard Prince, and Walter Robinson – artists who would later be identified by critics and historians as Pictures artists. Many of them were prominently included in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2009 exhibition "The Pictures Generation.” In 1982 the gallery presented the first New York exhibition of Mike Kelley soon followed by shows of John Miller, Jim Shaw, and Gary Simmons – artists who would elaborate ideas proposed by the California conceptual artists with whom they had studied at CalArts. In 1983 the gallery relocated to 150 Greene Street. During this period, René Daniëls and Martin Kippenberger had their first exhibitions outside of Europe at the gallery. Metro Pictures moved to its present location in Chelsea in 1997 and in 2016 1100 Architects renovated the gallery with an award-winning new design. Newer generations of artists have continued to expand the gallery, including Andreas Slominski, Olaf Breuning, André Butzer, Isaac Julien, David Maljkovic, Paulina Olowska, Trevor Paglen, Catherine Sullivan, Sara VanDerBeek, Tris Vonna-Michell, B. Wurtz, Alexandre Singh, Camille Henrot, Nina Beier, Oliver Laric, Judith Hopf, and Cui Jie. In 2020 the gallery announced representation of Latifa Echakhch and the Gretchen Bender Estate.

AND now they're done.

Review: The In-Laws Criterion BD Edition

Dir. Arthur Hiller Cast: Alan Arkin, Peter Falk, Richard Libertini, Ed Begley Jr. Nancy Dussault

Arthur Hiller’s agreeable 1979 comedy works largely on the strength and spectacular chemistry of its leading men: Affable but mysterious Peter Falk; and anxious but game Alan Arkin. Expertly playing off of each other, like a pair of borscht belt comics hitting their marks on stage in Monticello. Andrew Bergman’s madcap script scoots the pair across international lines, in perpetual disagreement with one another, before wrapping things up in a congenial package.

Falk plays Vince Ricardo, a mysterious fellow who claims to be a businessman but may or may not actually be working for the CIA; while Arkin plays Sheldon Kornpett, a Manhattan dentist who lives with his family in tony Westchester County. On the eve of their respective children getting married, Vince finally manages to show up to a family gathering at Sheldon’s house to meet everyone, where he puts on a baffling display of good manners, wild tales, and enigmatic phone calls. Soon after their first meeting, Vince has engaged the unwitting Sheldon into helping him in a complicated scheme that may or not be legal, but does drag the near-hysteric dentist into a series of international misadventures leading up facing a firing squad at the film’s dramatic climax.

As a time capsule, Hiller’s film also captures a period of time in ‘70s-era New York, where it was possible for a man like Sheldon, good-natured, reasonably wealthy, perpetually reasonable, to be wholly taken advantage of by a street-smart wiseacre like Vince. The distinct positions Falk and Arkin carve out for themselves, Falk’s slippery, rumple pitted against Arkin’s finicky placidness – and, with Andrew Berman’s script biting more than a bit off of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple -- gives their characters just enough weight to carry us through the film’s various comic twists and turns (“There’s no reason to shoot at me; I’m a dentist!” in Arkin’s hilarious line reading, remains a classic). Given the strength of Falk and Arkin, it’s no surprise the 2003 remake – with Albert Brooks in the Arkin role; and Michael Douglas in Falk’s – faired so poorly by comparison .

This Criterion BD edition celebrates the film with a host of additional materials, including a 2003 audio commentary from Bergman, Hiller, Arkin, and the late Falk; a new interview with Arkin; an essay from Stephen Winer, and a booklet with a behind-the-scenes recollection by director Hiller.

FBI Memo: Obama State Dept. In Communication with ‘Pee’ Dossier Producer Fusion GPS

Victoria Nuland, a former Hillary Clinton associate who served as a senior official in John Kerry’s State Department, was in communication with Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, according to a newly released FBI document.

The controversial Fusion GPS opposition research firm infamously produced the Christopher Steele dossier alleging now debunked Russian collision charges and was paid for its anti-Trump work by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Any connection between Nuland and Fusion GPS would raise further questions about the role of the Obama-era State Department in fueling the Russia collision conspiracy, especially with regard to facilitating Steele’s unsubstantiated claims.

Last week, the FBI released its official notes, known as 302 reports, detailing about a dozen interviews that the bureau’s agents conducted with career Justice Department official Bruce Ohr as part of the FBI’s investigation into President Trump and alleged Russian collusion. Ohr’s wife, Nellie, was a contractor for Fusion GPS.

In previous testimony, Ohr recounted maintaining direct contact with dossier author Christopher Steele even after the former British spy was terminated as an FBI source over reports that Steele was communicating with reporters. In doing so, Ohr lent credibility to a Republican House Intelligence Committee memo alleging that he served as a back-channel between the FBI and Steele, who penned the dossier for Fusion GPS.

The FBI documents blank out key sections that clearly name or use a code word for Steele. The documents prove that the FBI received information from Steele passed on through Ohr even after Steele was fired as an FBI source in November 2016. The contacts continued through May 2017, the reports show.

One FBI report relates, “Ohr knew Glenn Simpson and others were talking to Victoria Nuland at the State Department.”

That note came from an FBI interview conducted with Ohr on November 22, 2016.

David Kramer, a long-time adviser to late Senator John McCain, revealed in testimony that he met with two Obama administration officials to inquire about whether the anti-Trump dossier authored by was being taken seriously.  This was before Kramer obtained the dossier and McCain passed it officially to the FBI.

In a deposition on Dec. 13, 2017 that was later posted online, Kramer said that McCain specifically asked him in early December 2016 to meet about the dossier with Victoria Nuland, a senior official in John Kerry’s State Department, as well as an official from the National Security Council.

Nuland’s specific role in the dossier episode has been the subject of some controversy for her.

In their book, Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump, authors and reporters Michael Isikoff and David Corn write that Nuland gave the green light for the FBI to first meet with Steele regarding his dossier’s claims. It was at that meeting that Steele initially reported his dossier charges to the FBI, the book relates.

Steele sought out Rome-based FBI Special Agent Michael Gaeta, with whom he had worked on a previous case. Before Gaeta met with Steele on July 5, 2016, the book relates that the FBI first secured the support of Nuland, who at the time was assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs specializing in Russia.

There were a few hoops Gaeta had to jump through. He was assigned to the U.S. embassy in Rome. The FBI checked with Victoria Nuland’s office at the State Department: Do you support this meeting? Nuland, having found Steele’s reports on Ukraine to have been generally credible, gave the green light.

Within a few days, on July 5, Gaeta arrived and headed to Steele’s office near Victoria station. Steele handed him a copy of the report. Gaeta, a seasoned FBI agent, started to read. He turned white. For a while, Gaeta said nothing. Then he remarked, “I have to report this to headquarters.”

The book documents that Nuland previously received Steele’s reports on the Ukrainian crisis and had been familiar with Steele’s general work.

An extensive New Yorker profile of Steele named another former official from Kerry’s State Department for alleged involvement in circulating the dossier. The magazine reported that Kerry’s chief of staff at the State Department, John Finer, obtained the contents of a two-page summary of the dossier and eventually decided to share the questionable document with Kerry.

Finer received the dossier summary from Jonathan M. Winer, the Obama State Department official who acknowledged regularly interfacing and exchanging information with Steele, according to the report. Winer previously conceded that he shared the dossier summary with Nuland.

After his name surfaced in news media reports related to probes by House Republicans into the dossier, Winer authored a Washington Post oped in which he conceded that while he was working at the State Department he exchanged documents and information with Steele.

Winer further acknowledged that while at the State Department, he shared anti-Trump material with Steele passed to him by longtime Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, whom Winer described as an “old friend.” Winer wrote that the material from Blumenthal – which Winer in turn gave to Steele – originated with Cody Shearer, who is a controversial figure long tied to various Clinton scandals.

In testimony last year, Nuland made statements about a meeting at the State Department in October 2016 between State officials and Steele, but said that she didn’t participate.

At a June 2018 hearing, Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) revealed contents of the State Department’s visitor logs while he was grilling Nuland.

At the hearing, Burr asked: “I know you talked extensively with our staff relative to Mr. Steele. Based upon our review of the visitor logs of the State Department, Mr. Steele visited the State Department briefing officials on the dossier in October of 2016. Did you have any role in that briefing?”

“I did not,” Nuland replied. “I actively chose not to be part of that briefing.”

“But were you aware of that briefing?” Burr asked.

“I was not aware of it until afterwards,” Nuland retorted.

Nuland did not explain how she can actively chose not to be part of Steele’s briefing, as she claimed, yet say she was unaware of the briefing until after it occurred. Nuland was not asked about the discrepancy during the public section of the testimony, which was reviewed in full by Breitbart News.

Nuland previously served as chief of staff to Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott under Bill Clinton’s administration, and then served as deputy director for former Soviet Union affairs.

Nuland faced confirmation questions prior to her most recent appointment as assistant secretary of state over her reported role in revising controversial Obama administration talking points about the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks. Her reported changes sought to protect Hillary Clinton’s State Department from accusations that it failed to adequately secure the woefully unprotected U.S. Special Mission in Benghazi.

Jack Goldstein and the CalArts Mafia

Richard Hertz

Jack Goldstein and the CalArts Mafia is anchored by Jack's reflections, dramatized by Hertz into first person narratives, of the early days of CalArts and the last days of Chouinard; the New York artworld; the trials and tribulations of finding and maintaining success; his inter-personal relationships; and his disappearance from the art scene. They are complemented by the dramatized first person narratives of Jack's friends, including John Baldessari, Troy Brauntuch, Rosetta Brooks, Jean Fisher, Robert Longo, Matt Mullican, and James Welling. There are provocative portraits of many well known personalities of the 80s, including Mary Boone, David Salle, and Helene Winer, all working at a time when the competitive spirit was strong and often brutal, caring little about anything but oneself and making lots of money. Has anything changed?

A planet hotter than most stars

A newly discovered Jupiter-like world is so hot that it's stretching the definition of the word "planet."

With a day-side temperature of 4,600 Kelvin (more than 7,800 degrees Fahrenheit), planet KELT-9b is hotter than most stars, and only 1,200 Kelvin (about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit) cooler than our own sun.

In this week's issue of the journal Nature and at a presentation at the American Astronomical Society spring meeting, an international research team led by astronomers at The Ohio State University and Vanderbilt University describes a planet with some very unusual features.

For instance, it's a gas giant 2.8 times more massive than Jupiter but only half as dense, because the extreme radiation from its host star has caused its atmosphere to puff up like a balloon. And because it is tidally locked to its star -- as the Moon is to Earth -- the day side of the planet is perpetually bombarded by stellar radiation, and as a result is so hot that molecules such as water, carbon dioxide, and methane can't form there. The properties of the night side are still mysterious -- molecules may be able to form there, but probably only temporarily.

"It's a planet by any of the typical definitions based on mass, but its atmosphere is almost certainly unlike any other planet we've ever seen just because of the temperature of its day side," said Scott Gaudi, professor of astronomy at The Ohio State University and a leader of the study.

KELT-9b orbits a star, dubbed KELT-9, which is more than twice as large and nearly twice as hot as our sun. Keivan Stassun, a professor of physics and astronomy at Vanderbilt who directed the study with Gaudi said, "KELT-9 radiates so much ultraviolet radiation that it may completely evaporate the planet. Or, if gas giant planets like KELT-9b possess solid rocky cores as some theories suggest, the planet may be boiled down to a barren rock, like Mercury."

That is, if the star doesn't grow to engulf it first. "KELT-9 will swell to become a red giant star in about a billion years," said Stassun. "The long-term prospects for life, or real estate for that matter, on KELT-9b are not looking good."

Given that its atmosphere is constantly blasted with high levels of ultraviolet radiation, the planet may even be shedding a tail of evaporated planetary material like a comet, Gaudi added.

While Gaudi and Stassun spend a lot of time developing missions designed to find habitable planets in other solar systems, the scientists said there's a good reason to study worlds that are unlivable in the extreme.

"As has been highlighted by the recent discoveries from the MEarth collaboration, the planet around Proxima Centauri, and the astonishing system discovered around TRAPPIST-1, the astronomical community is clearly focused on finding Earthlike planets around small, cooler stars like our sun. They are easy targets and there's a lot that can be learned about potentially habitable planets orbiting very low-mass stars in general. On the other hand, because KELT-9b's host star is bigger and hotter than the sun, it complements those efforts and provides a kind of touchstone for understanding how planetary systems form around hot, massive stars," Gaudi said.

Stassun added, "As we seek to develop a complete picture of the variety of other worlds out there, it's important to know not only how planets form and evolve, but also when and under what conditions they are destroyed."

How was this new planet found?

In 2014, astronomers using the KELT-North telescope at Winer Observatory in Arizona noticed a tiny drop in the star's brightness -- only about half of one percent -- that indicated that a planet may have passed in front of the star. The brightness dipped once every 1.5 days, which means the planet completes a "yearly" circuit around its star every 1.5 days.

Subsequent observations confirmed the signal to be due to a planet, and revealed it to be what astronomers call a "hot Jupiter" -- the ideal kind of planet for the KELT telescopes to spot.

KELT is short for "Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope." Astronomers at Ohio State, Vanderbilt University, and Lehigh University jointly operate two KELTs (one each in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres) in order to fill a large gap in the available technologies for finding extrasolar planets.

Other telescopes are designed to look at very faint stars in much small sections of the sky, and at very high resolution. The KELTs, in contrast, look at millions of very bright stars at once, over broad sections of sky, and at low resolution.

It's a low-cost means of planet hunting, using mostly off-the-shelf technology: whereas a traditional astronomical telescope costs millions of dollars to build, the hardware for a KELT telescope runs less than $75,000.

"This discovery is a testament to the discovery power of small telescopes, and the ability of citizen scientists to directly contribute to cutting-edge scientific research," said Joshua Pepper, astronomer and assistant professor of physics at Lehigh University, who built the two KELT telescopes.

The astronomers hope to take a closer look at KELT-9b with other telescopes -- including Spitzer, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and eventually the James Webb Space Telescope. Observations with HST would enable them to see if the planet really does have a cometary tail, and allow them to determine how much longer that planet will survive its current hellish condition.

Study co-authors from Ohio State include Daniel J. Stevens, Marshall C. Johnson, Matthew Penney, Andrew Gould and Richard Pogge, all of the Department of Astronomy.

American partner institutions include Vanderbilt University, Fisk University, Pennsylvania State University, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, University of Notre Dame, Lehigh University, NASA Ames Research Center, Bay Area Environmental Research Institute, Swarthmore College, IPAC, Brigham Young University, University of California-Santa Cruz, University of Wyoming, Louisiana State University, University of Louisville, Spot Observatory in Nashville, Westminster College, Kutztown University, University of Hawaii, University of Washington, Texas A&M University, Wellesley College, and Winer Observatory in Sonoita, AZ. International team members are from Denmark, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Switzerland, Australia, Germany and South Africa.

The study was largely funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through an NSF CAREER Grant, NSF PAARE Grant and an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Additional support came from NASA via the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Exoplanet Exploration Program; the Harvard Future Faculty Leaders Postdoctoral Fellowship; Theodore Dunham, Jr., Grant from the Fund for Astronomical Research; and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
