Welcome to the March issue of Transit.

Again, we have our regular slots - amongst them Jenni Harte's World News, David Fisher's Data Department and Media Watch.

Sadly, renowned astrologer Sydney Omarr died shortly after the last issue of Transit appeared. An obituary is featured in this issue.

Betty Gosling discusses the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, using a geodetic chart. The data for the astromauts can be found in World News.

The Snippets page is devoted to short announcments, requests for research data and news. Please send me any similar requests so that they can be included in the next issue of Transit.

I've again inserted email links to the authors of articles. If you want to contact them direct to offer comments please do so. Although you obviously can direct any queries and comments to me if you prefer. If there isn't a direct link please forward any comments you may have to me and I'll ensure that they're passed on.
