                        ASTRONOMICAL CALENDAR

For the past few years, Launch Alert has provided a monthly
astronomical calendar based on an astronomical calendar posted on my
web site. Compiling this data each year was a tedious and lengthy
process.

I recently decided to no longer provide an astronomical calendar on my
site. Since the source document is no longer being published, the
information will no longer be available for publication in this
newsletter.
