Why Darth Joey Jo Jo
[edit]The name comes from an episode of The Simpsons. Homer was seeking advice on his infatuation with Mindy Simmons from Barney, Moe and the other bar flies. Rather than straightforwardly admitting to being attracted to Mindy however, Homer attempts to bring up the subject delicately, claiming that a friend of his, one "Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo", has been having trouble with a female co-worker. A man sitting alone at the end of the bar looks up, appearing to be interested. Moe, seeing through Homer's pitiful charade, exclaims "That's the worst name I ever heard." At this point, the man at the end of the bar begins to cry and runs out of Moe's Tavern in tears ignoring Barney as he says "Joey Jo-Jo, Come back!"

Coleraine F.C.
[edit]Might try updating the Coleraine F.C. wiki page. Current intro:
Coleraine Football Club is a Northern Irish semi-professional football club, playing in the NIFL Premiership. The club, founded in 1927, hails from Coleraine, County Londonderry and plays its home matches at The Showgrounds. Club colours are blue and white. The club won the Irish League title once (in 1973–74) and the Irish Cup on six occasions, most recently in 2017–18. They are also the only Irish League club to have won two successive all-Ireland competitions, lifting the Blaxnit Cup in 1969 and 1970. The club share a derby rivalry with the much less successful Ballymena United.

[edit]Working on updating this page as I've taken an interest into space and the various hardware launched in the past.
Here's my history of X-Ray astronomy so far: X-Rays, also known as Röntgen radiation, was formally identified and studied by the German physics professor Wilhelm Röntgen in late 1895. He discovered that certain types of vacuum tubes emit an invisible type of radiation capable of passing through materials or interacting with them causing the material to give off visible light. While it was now known how to produce x-rays on earth, it remained impossible to detect x-rays coming from space as the Earth's atmosphere blocks X-rays at ground level.
It was not expected that the Sun would be able to produce X-rays but Edward Hulburt, an optical physicist working for the Naval Research Laboratory disagreed. In 1938 he concluded that "ultraviolet light, X-rays or particles of zero average charge" were responsible for the formation of the E-layer of the earth's ionosphere. Following World War 2, the Upper Atmosphere Research Panel met to discuss the possible uses for the German V-2 rockets captured by the US Army. Ernst Henry Krause of the NRL wished to procure the rockets in order to conduct basic research in the upper atmosphere.
- First X-rays detected from the Sun by a US sounding rocket launched from White Sands on January 28, 1949.
- Riccardo Giancconi and Bruno Rossi propose searching for X-rays beyond the solar system late 1959.
- June 12, 1962: Discovery of the first X-ray source, Sco X-1 (Scorpius X-1)
- October 12, 1962: Follow-up launch fails to spot Sco X-1 but spots two new sources near Cygnus (Cyg X-1) and the Crab Nebula.
- June 10, 1963: Confirmation of Sco X-1 and identification of a new source.
