=== <strong>ASTRONOMY</strong><br />

1. Astronomy: Contrails contribute to light-pollution, by the reflection <strong>of</strong> city-lights, whereby they disturb astronomical observations: "Nachtflüge von Linien- und<br />

Charterflugzeugen sorgen für Emissionen in großen Höhen, die als Kondensstreifen durch Lichtreflektion zur Nachtaufhellung beitragen": http://www.sternwarte.de/...<br />

2. Astronomy: "Saturday, April 05, 1997: Despite some very thin high clouds and contrails comet Hale-Bopp was visible this evening ... in Savannah":<br />

http://www.topistar.com/...<br />

3. Astronomy: A unique photograph <strong>of</strong> a contrail obscuring the Sun: http://www.ra-dec.de/...<br />

4. Lunar eclipse 2001 January 9 (text only): "I was able to watch the whole thing from P1 to P4 in my back garden. Some high cirrus/ aircraft contrails were a nuisance<br />

early on but as the Moon climbed higher in the sky conditions improved tremendously": http://www.netspeed.com.au/...<br />

5. "Can contrails be observed with the telescopes at Lick Observatory?" http://www.ucolick.org/...<br />

6. 1999 Solar Eclipse seen from Hungary (text only): "Fast genau über uns verwehten sieben parallele Kondensstreifen von Flugzeugen, die im Mondschatten mitgeflogen<br />

waren": http://home.t-online.de/...<br />

=== ASTRONAUT OBSERVATIONS<br />

1. Astronaut Frank Culbertson warns <strong>of</strong> Earth impact: http://news.bbc.co.uk/...<br />

2. ISS astronaut Susan Helms, in a ham radio interview with school children, on July 13, 2001, said that ...she enjoyed the view from the ISS and that she and her<br />

crewmates can see aircraft contrails in Earth's atmosphere. "There's nothing like looking out the window!" she said. ": http://www.arrl.org/...<br />

3. Space Shuttle Payload commander Kathryn Sullivan took time out to answer two questions from a list from schoolchildren in Alabama and Texas. 'One student wanted<br />

to know whether the northern lights differ from the southern lights. The answer: no. Another asked what evidence <strong>of</strong> man, besides the Great Wall <strong>of</strong> China, could be<br />

seen from space. The answer: lots. "We've seen jets flying along, contrails in busy parts <strong>of</strong> the sky, cities on the ground, plumes <strong>of</strong> smoke where people are clearing their<br />

fields to plant a new season's crop, airports, boats in the water," Sullivan said': St.Petersburg Times, March 29, 1992: http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/...<br />

4. Space Shuttle, "Ask an Astronaut" site: Byron Lichtenberg replying to the question: "What is the most predominant land feature that can be viewed from space? There<br />

are many predominant land features that can be seen from space. The great lakes, Florida peninsula, the Straits <strong>of</strong> Gibraltar--from our altitude <strong>of</strong> about 300 km (200<br />

miles) you can see about 1,500km (1,000 miles) in any direction. What is really amazing is how small things you can see. We could see runways, the contrails <strong>of</strong> aircraft,<br />

the roads <strong>of</strong> housing subdivisions, the wakes <strong>of</strong> ships etc. While you couldn't see an individual building, you could see the grey <strong>of</strong> cities. It really is an amazing view. I<br />

highly recommend it to everyone"!: http://www.thespaceport.com/...<br />
