Telescopes capture moment of impact during lunar eclipse
By MARCIA DUNN
AP Aerospace Writer
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. —
Astronomers managed to capture
the moment of an impact during
this week’s eclipsed moon.
Spanish astrophysicist Jose
Maria Madiedo of the Univer-
sity of Huelva said Wednesday
it appears a rock from a comet
slammed into the moon during the
total lunar eclipse late Sunday and
early Monday.
The strike was seen by tele-
scopes in Spain and elsewhere as
a bright flash.
Madiedo said it’s the first
impact flash ever seen during a
lunar eclipse, although such cra-
ter-forming impacts are common.
The object hit at an estimated
10 miles per second, and was
22 pounds and 12 inches across,
according to Madiedo.
Griffith Observatory in Los
Angeles also recorded the impact
during its livestream of the eclipse.
A second flash was seen a minute
after the first by some observers,
said Anthony Cook, an astronom-
ical observer at Griffith.
“It was in the brightest part of
the moon’s image,” Cook said of
the second suspected strike, “and
there might not be enough con-
trast for the flash to be visible in
our video.”
Madiedo said lunar impact
monitoring generally is conducted
five days before and after a new
moon, when flashes can be easily
observed. To take advantage of the
three-plus-hour eclipse, he set up
four extra telescopes in addition to
the four he operates at the observa-
tory in Seville. “I did not want to
miss any potential impact event,”
he explained in an email.
“I could not sleep for almost
two days, setting up and testing
the extra instruments, and per-
forming the observation during the
night of Jan. 21,” he wrote. “I was
really exhausted when the eclipse
was over.”
Then computer software alerted
him to the impact.
“I jumped out of the chair I
was sitting on. I am really happy,
because I think that the effort was
rewarded,” he said.
Moon monitoring can help sci-
entists better predict the rate of
impacts, not just at the moon but

Russell Baker, author and NY Times columnist, dies at 93 after a fall
LEESBURG, Va. (AP)
— Russell Baker, the genial,
but sharp-witted writer who
won Pulitzer Prizes for his
humorous columns in The
New York Times and a mov-
ing autobiography of his
impoverished
Baltimore
childhood and later hosted
television’s “Masterpiece
Theatre,” has died. He was
93.
Allen Baker told The
Associated Press that his
father died on Monday from
complications after a fall.
Amiable and approach-
able, but also clear-eyed and
street smart, Baker enjoyed
a decades-long career as
reporter, columnist, critic
and on-air personality. He
won Pulitzers in 1979 for the
“Observer,” the Times col-
umn he wrote for 35 years,
and in 1983 for his autobiog-
raphy “Growing Up.”
The Great Depression
and World War II shaped
Baker’s early life. He began
his career as a reporter in
1947 and rose to become a
national New York Times
reporter in Washington,
D.C., in 1954.
He covered Congress, the
military and State Depart-
ment during the Eisenhower
and Kennedy administra-
tions before tiring, he would
recall, of waiting for politi-
cians to come out of meet-
ing rooms and lie to him.
He drew upon those experi-
ences for his column, writ-
ing as a curious and wide-
eyed outsider who could

leave an adversary buried
under the weight of com-
mon sense.
“On television we see
President Reagan in a cave.
It is the Mammoth Cave, one
of America’s great caves.
The TV news reader says
the President has come there
to create ‘a photo opportu-
nity.’ Here is President Rea-
gan on television again. He
is looking at a bald eagle.
The President and the eagle
are in the same room enjoy-
ing ‘a photo opportunity,’
according to the TV news
voice,” Baker wrote in 1984.
“His environmental pol-
icy has been characterized
by a reluctance to do any-
thing that would create dif-
ficulty for the business
community. It is entirely
possible to defend this posi-
tion with persuasive argu-
ment. The President of the
cave and the eagle, how-
ever, is not defending a sen-
sibly thought-out policy; he
is being used to deceive us
into thinking that he is what
he, in fact, is not.”
Baker didn’t ask to be
called a humorist. During
a 1994 speech in Hartford,
Connecticut, he said his
goal for the “Observer” was
to render the federal gov-
ernment, politics and diplo-
macy accessible through
plain, easy-to-read lan-
guage. It was to be more
widely appealing than the
“High-Church,
polysyl-
labic” writing common in
The New York Times.
“Well, as I soon dis-
covered, in those days if
you wrote short sentences
and plain English in the
Times, everybody natu-
rally assumed you were
being funny,” he said in the
speech.
He wrote a second auto-
biography, “The Good
Times,” to follow “Growing
Up.” The first focused on his
childhood, the second on his
early career. Baker would
eventually write, edit or
contribute to more than 15
other books, collections and
assorted works.
Baker was born in 1925
to stonemason Benjamin
Baker and schoolteacher
Lucy Elizabeth Baker. He
married Miriam Emily Nash
in 1950 and had three chil-
dren: Kathleen, Allen and
Michael.
Benjamin Baker died of
untreated diabetes when
his son was 5. Lucy Baker
struggled through the Great
Depression as a single
mother living in Baltimore.
Russell Baker remem-
bered his mother as a key
influence driving him to
succeed.
“She would make me
make something of myself
whether I wanted to or not,”
he wrote in “Growing Up.”
Baker served in the U.S.
Naval Reserve from 1943
to 1945 and was trained as
a pilot during World War II.
He graduated from Johns
Hopkins University in 1947
and began his career that
year as a police reporter
with The Baltimore Sun.
He became the newspaper’s
London bureau chief in 1953.
Baker took over as “Mas-
terpiece Theatre’s” host in
1993, succeeding Alistair
Cooke, and remained until
2004. Baker’s on-air com-
mentary for public tele-
vision focused on provid-
ing critical perspectives on
featured works along with
historical context. He also
provided insights into the
original authors’ approaches
and detailed liberties taken
to adapt the literature for
television.
He wrote long-form
reviews and other articles
for The New York Review
of Books during his years
following the Times.
