‘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 ... by Tom Clavin

Staring Into the Past

In addition to potatoes, carrots grow well in Sagaponack.

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
