Hello Sweet Skitzo. I tried to track down the cause of death. Wiki has nothing. [link to en.wikipedia.org] Do you have any idea what the cause of death was? ~Zeus Zeus2573 was an alter ego that never should have existed in the first place. Therefore, he has been laid to rest, never to return again. Brent has taken his place. ______________________________________ God is dead. ~Friedrich Nietzsche - 1882 Friedrich Nietzsche is dead. ~God - August 25, 1900 _______________________________________________________________ Before God we are equally wise, and equally foolish. ~ Albert Einstein. |

He specialized in tracking asteroids and comets and served as director of the Minor Planet Center, the official clearinghouse of data for these objects, from 1978 to 2006. Marsden's work was crucial in helping to track potentially Earth-threatening objects, scientists said. The New York Times, in fact, once described him as a "Cheery Herald of Fear." |
