"The United Family of Anomaly Hunters (UFAH) are a team of fourteen research groups that have come together to expose hidden artifacts and space anomalies on planets, moons and comets in our solar system. The discoveries so far have been spectacular and jaw-dropping, to say the least. Many of the UFAH’s members space anomalies have made international news on top new outlets like CNN and the Huffington Post. After downloading close to one million images from official sources, the team at UFAH has discovered thousands of anomalies hidden in plain sight. It appears that NASA and Caltech try to cover up some of the images with distortion and blurring techniques. But it seems they always leave a few breadcrumbs for us to find." (from Gaia website).

Color Illustrations; This is a series of photographs / educational sheets from the SOHO Observatory (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) to be used in classrooms. This set is still enclosed in shrinkwrap. " SOHO, the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory, is a project of international collaboration between ESA and NASA to study the Sun from its deep core to the outer corona and the solar wind. SOHO was launched on December 2, 1995. The SOHO spacecraft was built in Europe by an industry team led by prime contractor Matra Marconi Space (now EADS Astrium) under overall management by ESA. The twelve instruments on board SOHO were provided by European and American scientists. Nine of the international instrument consortia are led by European Principal Investigators (PI's) , three by PI's from the US. Large engineering teams and more than 200 co-investigators from many institutions supported the PI's in the development of the instruments and in the preparation of their operations and data analysis. NASA was responsible for the launch and is now responsible for mission operations. Large radio dishes around the world which form NASA's Deep Space Network are used for data downlink and commanding. Mission control is based at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. " (from NASA). Near Fine .

"Proctor was elected a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1866. He became honorary secretary in 1872, and contributed eighty-three separate papers to its Monthly Notices. Of these the more noteworthy dealt with the distribution of stars, star clusters and nebulae, and the construction of the sidereal universe. He was an expert in all that related to map-drawing, and published two star-atlases. A chart on an isographic projection, exhibiting all the stars contained in the Bonner Durchmusterung, was designed to show the laws according to which the stars down to the 9–10th magnitude are distributed over the northern heavens. His Theoretical Considerations respecting the Corona (Monthly Notices, xxxi. 184, 254) also deserve mention, as well as his discussions of the rotation of Mars, by which be deduced its period with a probable error of 0.005. He also vigorously criticised the official arrangements for observing the transits of Venus of 1874 and 1882. He was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society in 1874."
