Periselene

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

Today IBEX got within 100,000 km of the Moon at apogee. The distance was roughly 93,000 km and periselene was at 5 Nov 2008 20:55:04 UTC.

I would like to take this opportunity to honor my friend and mentor Chauncey W. Uphoff (1940-2004) who taught me most of what I know and without whom I would not be doing what I’m doing today.

Cheers my friend, I know where you were at 20:55:04 UTC. “Riding the spacecraft”.
