Well, it’s off to Brazil tomorrow on another research expedition to help characterize the minor planet 20000 Varuna. It’ll be visible to us in Gemini just after twilight, or rather it’s shadow will be visible as it occults GSC 1914:301 on Friday night, 23:06UT. I’m still packing so not much time to write now, but I thought I’d post the logo I came up with to commemorate the event.

Logo to commemorate the coming together of the scientists at MIT and Amateur Astronomers from the United States (ATMoB) and Brazil (CEARA) for the study of Kuiper Belt Objects.
