My office-mate (for three more weeks), Valeri Dikarev, is one
of the authors of the Saturn (front page) article in that
particular issue. He will also be coauthor of some explanations
of orbits of Cruithne and other asteroids in a Sky and
Telescope issue sometime middle next year.
  
 (The BBC Science Web site writer David Whitehouse
 still has not corrected the 'second moon of Earth' gaff,
 even though our group and other astronomers wrote
 messages to the errors page of that BBC web site and
 asked them to correct that error. The S&T article
 Valeri will cowrite will hopefully address these kinds
 of orbit errors and misonceptions)
