Hi all,
Not sure where to put this so will try here. Am surprised not to see this posted in the "news" section, but one of the pioneers in asteroid searching, particularly for NEO's, Eleanor Helin, died late January.
I met her once at a conference. Delightful speaker, and a very pleasant person to talk to, and always trying to encourage more people into NEO hunting and research.
The astronomical community has lost another valuable member.
