The National Geographic “Asteroids: Deadly Impact” is mostly about the Shoemakers and a little aabout Levy, the codiscoverers of the SL9 comet that fragmented then barreled into Jupiter back in 1994. Early in the show the Shoemakers retrace part of their trip to the town. The building stone didn’t look all that attractive to me, but of course in person it could be quite different (that’s how Van Gogh’s work is, as is the impressionists’ work).

I remember when the media broke the news about the Shoemakers discovering the comet with Levy that was named after them, the Shoemaker-Levy comet. The media made sure we all knew he was an amateur star gazer.
As it turned out, he has as much if not more knowledge of the Universe as the so called experts.
As for the media, it just goes to show you how ignorant they are, and always have been.
Thanks for the link to the documentary video. I’ll watch it later today.
Buried on the moon. That’s a big cemetery. LOL
