(some afterthoughts, continuing my note in responding to Chris Hibbert)

P.S. I will let you know when my officemate has written the
Sky & Telescope article on Cruithne and other asteroids of
this type, because he is the celestial mechanics expert. His
pop science writing is good, but in Russian, so his coauthor
will help him out with polishing his English.

And your friend's book: _The Color of Nature_ (by Murphy and Doherty)
has been a favorite of mine for some years. It made it on my
"Renaissance Book List: http://www.amara.com/aboutme/renhuman.html
last year. It's a lovely book, please give him my compliments.

Another cool (hot) Web page of explorations and discoveries:
