Pale Blue Dot. Seen from about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles, 40 astronomical units), Earth appears as a tiny dot (the blueish-white speck approximately halfway down the brown band to the right) within the darkness of deep space.[1] Background[edit] The Voyager 1 spacecraft is a 722-kilogram (1,592 lb) robotic American space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977,[3] to study the outer solar system[4] and eventually interstellar space.[5] Operating for 36 years, 7 months and 8 days as of today (15 April 2014), the spacecraft receives routine commands and transmits data back to the Deep Space Network. It is the first probe to leave the solar system and is the farthest man-made object from Earth.[5][6] The Voyager 1 spacecraft was initially expected to work only through the Saturn encounter.

Museum of Jurassic Technology. Museum of Jurassic Technology Facade - 9341 Venice Boulevard in Los Angeles The Museum of Jurassic Technology is a museum located at 9341 Venice Boulevard in the Palms district of Los Angeles, California (although it has a postal address of Culver City because it is served by that city's post office). It was founded by David Hildebrand Wilson and Diana Drake Wilson (husband and wife)[1] in 1988.[2] The museum calls itself "an educational institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and the public appreciation of the Lower Jurassic";[3] the relevance of the term "Lower Jurassic" to the museum's collections is left uncertain and unexplained.[4] The museum's collection includes a mixture of artistic, scientific, ethnographic, and historic, as well as some unclassifiable exhibits, and the diversity of its offerings evokes the cabinets of curiosities that were the 16th century predecessors of modern natural history museums.

Murders[edit] Conviction[edit] Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy. Context[edit] The debate was held on October 5, 1988, at the Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska. One of the moderators, Judy Woodruff, set the stage by addressing the audience: "Based on the history since World War II, there is almost a 50–50 chance that one of the two men here tonight will become President of the United States.
" She was referring to the probability that the man elected Vice President would later become President, either by succession or by a presidential bid. At the time of the debate, three vice-presidents had succeeded to the Presidency due to death or resignation since World War II (nine in total), and one sitting vice-president had gone on to be elected President since World War II (four in total; then-Vice President George H.

Transcript[edit] The relevant portion of that transcript follows: Hustler Magazine v. Falwell. Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held, in a unanimous 8–0 decision (Justice Anthony Kennedy took no part in the consideration or decision of the case), that the First Amendment's free-speech guarantee prohibits awarding damages to public figures to compensate for emotional distress intentionally inflicted upon them.
Thus, Hustler magazine's parody of Jerry Falwell was deemed to be within the law, because the Court found that reasonable people would not have interpreted the parody to contain factual claims, leading to a reversal of the jury verdict in favor of Falwell, who had previously been awarded $150,000 in damages by a lower court. Case[edit] Background[edit] Hustler's parody, depicted above, includes the unauthorized use of a publicity photograph of Falwell and a near-exact duplicate of the typesetting used in a concurrent Campari advertising campaign.[1] Flynt appealed to the Fourth Circuit.
