Вам же сказали: приходите завтра!
А Вы всё время сегодня приходите.

Деффки! Последний раз спрашиваю.
В среду, 19-го января в [7pm, Smithwick Theatre, Foothill college, Los Altos Hills] состоится лекция ["How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had it Coming!"] Лекцию читает непосредственно организатор и исполнитель убийства Плутона.
[The controversial "demotion" of Pluto was mainly the result of discoveries by a team of astronomers led by Michael Brown. In this talk, Dr. Brown will share the inside story of how he discovered "other Pluto's" out there beyond Neptune, including Eris, larger than Pluto, which he later named for the goddess of discord. Because, as he'll describe with his characteristic humor, its discovery resulted in a private and public controversy which led to the redefinition of what a planet is.
Brown has written a popular-level memoir, How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming, and he will be signing books after the lecture. He is a professor of planetary astronomy at the California Institute of Technology and specializes in the discovery and study of bodies at the edge of the solar system. He recently received the Richard P. Feynman Award for Outstanding Teaching at Caltech and was elected a Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences. He was also named one of Wired.com's Top Ten Sexiest Geeks in 2006–the mention of which never ceases to make his wife laugh.]
Вряд ли он скажет что-то новое, но зато у него классное чувство юмора. И аудитория обычно доставляет немало светлых моментов - особенно, вопросами в конце лекции![]()
