Dr. Freedman (born July 17, 1957) is easy to perceive as a successor to Allan Sandage in the field of cosmology. She had a disagreement of some standing with Sandage about what the eventual determination of the Hubble Constant would be. Sandage said it would be close to 50, Gerard de Vaucouleurs said it would be 100, and Freedman's eventual solution of close to 75 was supported by Hubble Space Telescope Cepheid data.

Can it possibly be true that our Sun loses 30,000 blue whales' worth of mass every second... and that it's been doing that for billions of years? How many whales is that, anyway?

One way to know for sure is to join us for the RASC Ottawa Centre Zoom-inar Friday 14 October 7:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada). I keep offering free beer at the end of these things but no-one has taken me up on it yet.

Anyone looking to look out from this Earth is welcome.
