‘Something Celestial’?

This column could be for those of you who consider yourselves unlucky. But how many of you have been unlucky enough to be hit by space debris? There is only one person on the planet who can claim that dubious distinction. First, the example of Skylab, which some readers might recall. If people were ever to have dangerous space debris rain on them, it was in 1979, when the vehicle was to tumble from space. Many people were genuinely frightened. Others made bets about when and where the falling space station would reenter Earth’s atmosphere. Newspapers offered prizes for finding ... 15 Jul 2025 by Tom Clavin

Staring Into the Past

In addition to potatoes, carrots grow well in Sagaponack. Our soil type can sustain their thirsty character while letting that long, singular, sweet tap root seek itself deep and straight into the dirt. Thus anchored, the carrot prospers until the day I loosen the dirt around it, and pull. We sell carrots two ways, with greens or without. Most want without, and I am happy to leave the substantial foliage here in its field and not have it end up dislocated in a dumpster far from “home.” These are vigorous carrots, and I have a system for removing the greens, ... by Marilee Foster

Fracking for Wind Farms?

Is New York State’s acceptance of fracked gas from Pennsylvania the quid quo pro for the Trump administration reversing itself and lifting its suspension of the Empire Wind project in the ocean south of Long Island? That certainly appears to be what is going on. On January 20, the first day in his second term as U.S. president, Donald Trump ordered a “temporary withdrawal” of any new leasing on the outer continental shelf. In issuing the order, he declared: “We’re not going to do the wind thing. Big, ugly windmills. They ruin your neighborhood.” Trump has long been a staunch ... by Karl Grossman

Apollo-Soyuz Is Topic of Hamptons Observatory Virtual Lecture

The Hamptons Observatory will present a free virtual lecture, “Apollo-Soyuz: The Mission & the Astronauts,” on Thursday, July 17, at 7 p.m. Registration is required to attend. While many consider the International Space Station the start of global cooperation in space, the first true international partnership occurred much earlier: the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. This groundbreaking 1975 mission marked the first joint human spaceflight between the United States and the Soviet Union, and is widely viewed as a symbolic step toward Cold War détente. This 50th anniversary presentation will be led by Andy Poniros, a longtime NASA volunteer and NASA/JPL Solar ... by Staff Writer

The effort was made possible in large part thanks to Dr. Rebecca Reed, a longtime volunteer at the Center’s food pantry and advocate for children’s health.“I see these children and families every week and understand all too well the need for dental and hygiene education,” said Dr. Reed. “It’s essential for their long-term health.
