Otters: "Cotton-piclcin1 cute/' but vulnerable JILL TYRER Islander staff writer They're cute, precocious little crea- tures with fuzzy little faces that people find irresistible. But the charm that makes otters so magnetic also is what puts them — and sometimes well-meaning people — at risk. "I don't know anyone who's seen an Night Sky otter who hasn't been grinning," said Kristie Seaman Anders of the Sanibel- Dana ANDERSON Captiva Conservation Foundation.

For thousands of years humans have studied the sky and astronomy without the use of telescopes. Ptolemy was the first to make a truly scien- tific map of the heavens, which he did without the use of a tele- scope. Hipparchus, produced the first known star catalogue without the use of a telescope. It wasn' t until the year 1608 that a Dutch spectacle maker stumbled upon the idea of a telescope, which led to a revo- lution in the way humans stud- ied the night sky. There is a universe full of things that can be observed without the use of a telescope. You can make out large dark areas on the surface of the moon. You can search forchar- acters such as the man on the moon, the woman on the moon or even the hare or the crab on the moon. You can track the changing phases of the moon throughout its monthly cycle and even observe a lunar This otter is now living in a cage with a eclipse. pond at C.R.O.
