Is Extraterrestrial Organic Matter Relevant to the Origin of Life on Earth?
IS EXTRATERRESTRIAL ORGANIC MATTER RELEVANT TO THE ORIGIN OF LIFE ON EARTH? D. C. B. WHITTET Department of Physics, Applied Physics and Astronomy, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY 12180, U.S.A. (Received 19 August 1996) Abstract. I review the relative importance of internal and external sources of prebiotic molecules on Earth at the time of life's origin 3.7 Gyr ago. The ef®ciency of synthesis in the Earth's atmosphere was critically dependent on its oxidation state. If the early atmosphere was non-reducing and CO2- dominated, external delivery might have been the dominant source. Interplanetary dust grains and micrometeorites currently deliver carbonaceous matter to the Earth's surface at a rate of 3 5 7 10 kg/yr (equivalent to a biomass in 2 Gyr), but this may have been as high as 5 10 kg/yr (a biomass in only 10 Myr) during the epoch of late bombardment. Much of the incoming material is in the form of chemically inactive kerogens and amorphous carbon; but if the Earth once had a dense (10-bar) atmosphere, small comets rich in a variety of prebiotic molecules may have been suf®ciently air-braked to land non-destructively. Lingering uncertainties regarding the impact history of the Earth and the density and composition of its early atmosphere limit our ability to draw ®rm conclusions. 1. Introduction In at least one sense, a connection between the Universe at large and life in our small corner of it is inevitable. The hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and other elements that make up our bodies and other living things were created billions of years ago in the interiors of stars and, in the case of hydrogen, in the the Big Bang itself (see Trimble, 1997, in this volume for an eloquent review). -

Following procedures outlined in the Compendium, the review was performed by a Joint Senate Review Committee, led by the University Committee on Research Policy (UCORP) with input from the University Committee on Planning and Budget (UCPB) and the Coordinating Committee on Graduate Affairs (CCGA). The Review Committee recommends renewing the UCO as an MRU unit for five years, and also makes recommendations for strengthening the UCO in the areas of budget and administrative transparency, governance, student participation in research, and education and outreach. We request that that you forward the report to the UCO director. The Academic Council appreciates the significant time and effort the Review Committee spent in preparing and writing this report. In particular, I want to recognize the substantial contributions and outstanding leadership of UCORP Chair Andrew Baird. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.

City Manager's Update July 11, 2019
July 11, 2019 Department of Public Safety Hosts Third Youth Leadership Academy The Department of Public Safety (DPS) hosted its third annual Youth Leadership Academy from June 17 to 27. Twenty-seven students entering grades 7 through 9 participated in the two-week program. Participants learned valuable skills in communication, conflict resolution, character building, decision making, and goal setting. They also received information about cyber-safety, bullying, and lifetime fitness. This program was funded by a grant from the Bureau of State and Community Corrections. For information about the Youth Leadership Academy, contact Elaine Ketell at 408-730-7234 or [email protected]. Water Quality Information Available Online The City of Sunnyvale’s Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report), is now available. Our goal is to provide residents with high- quality, safe, reliable drinking water that meets every federal and state water requirement. Sunnyvale analyzes more than 20,000 water samples annually. The report lets customers know where the drinking water comes from, how it is treated to make it safe, the results of water quality monitoring and other important information about water quality. This information is provided in compliance with requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Health Services. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Kevin Woodworth, Water Distribution Supervisor at 408-730-7900 or [email protected].

As the fanfare -- whistled, as if by Walter -- crescendos, we hear STATLER (V.O.) Well, we can go home now. WALDORF (V.O.) But the movie's just starting! STATLER (V.O.) Yeah, but we've already seen the best part! WALDORF (V.O.) I thought the best part was the end credits! They CHORTLE as the credits FADE TO BLACK A familiar voice -- one we've heard many times before, and will hear again later in the movie... MR. EXCELSIOR (V.O.) And lo, there came a day like no other, when the unlikeliest of heroes united to face a challenge greater than they could possibly imagine... STATLER (V.O.) Being entertaining? WALDORF (V.O.) Keeping us awake? MR. EXCELSIOR (V.O.) Look, do you guys mind? I'm foreshadowing here. Ahem. Greater than they could possibly imagine... CUT TO: 2. THE MUPPET SHOW COMIC BOOK By Roger Langridge.

MUPPET STUDIOS The shout startles Walter, who tips over backwards in his chair out of frame, revealing KERMIT THE FROG, emerging from his office into the central space of Muppet Studios. The offices are dated, a little shabby, but they've been thoroughly Muppetized into a wacky, cozy, creative space. SCOOTER appears at Kermit's side, and we follow them through the office. -

Appendix: Spectroscopy of Variable Stars
Appendix: Spectroscopy of Variable Stars As amateur astronomers gain ever-increasing access to professional tools, the science of spectroscopy of variable stars is now within reach of the experienced variable star observer. In this section we shall examine the basic tools used to perform spectroscopy and how to use the data collected in ways that augment our understanding of variable stars. Naturally, this section cannot cover every aspect of this vast subject, and we will concentrate just on the basics of this field so that the observer can come to grips with it. It will be noticed by experienced observers that variable stars often alter their spectral characteristics as they vary in light output. Cepheid variable stars can change from G types to F types during their periods of oscillation, and young variables can change from A to B types or vice versa. Spec troscopy enables observers to monitor these changes if their instrumentation is sensitive enough. However, this is not an easy field of study. It requires patience and dedication and access to resources that most amateurs do not possess. Nevertheless, it is an emerging field, and should the reader wish to get involved with this type of observation know that there are some excellent guides to variable star spectroscopy via the BAA and the AAVSO. Some of the workshops run by Robin Leadbeater of the BAA Variable Star section and others such as Christian Buil are a very good introduction to the field. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 M.

The spectra we see from stars is the result of the complete output in visible light of the star (in simple terms). -
