The saga of the Ruby Slippers stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids‚ Minnesota‚ in 2005 has just gotten even weirder. First 76-year-old Terry Martin admitted to the theft and said in his plea agreement that he thought the shoes were festooned with real rubies rather than sequins and glass beads. Now a second man has been charged with the theft plus another count of witness tampering for having threatened to release a sex tape of a woman if she told authorities he had the shoes. The second man‚ Jerry Hal Saliterman‚ also 76 years old‚ was busted after a search of his home on December 20th‚ 2023. When the FBI showed up at his door with a search warrant in hand‚ Saliterman admitted that he had stolen goods in his home‚ but insisted they were all the products of old crimes. You’ll be shocked to read that statement was less than fully honest. In a padlocked‚ fenced-off area under the stairs‚ agents found name-brand electronics‚ digital grills and wine pourers‚ all new and still in their boxes. A storage shed out back had expensive artworks. The raid also found disposable food storage containers full of an estimate $30‚000 cash wrapped with foil to hide their contents. A woman involved with the crimes confessed to the FBI that Saliterman led a retail theft ring that operated undeterred for 15 years‚ hitting such august locations as William Sonoma and the Apple Store hundreds of times each. The theft ring ceased operations only in 2021 or 2022. It was this woman who knew about the Ruby Slippers because Saliterman had shown them to her in a grocery bag. He then put them in a plastic tub and buried them in the yard for seven years. According to the indictment‚ Saliterman had the shoes from the theft in 2005 until their recovery in 2018. Apparently he and his gang put the shoes in an ultraviolet sanitizer cabinet in a risible attempt to destroy any DNA evidence they left on them. He also threatened the woman with revenge porn and that he would “take her down with him” should she tell the authorities what she knew. Saliterman has not yet entered a plea‚ but his attorney claimed he was not guilty. The FBI has not divulged the details of the investigation that located the shoes‚ just that they were recovered in Minneapolis in July 2018‚ but given the timeline in the indictment‚ presumably he kept them hidden until the very end. While the perpetrators wend their ways through the court system‚ the Ruby Slippers were returned to their owner‚ collector Michael Shaw‚ last month. Shaw had loaned them to the museum where they were on display at the time of the theft and now that he has them back‚ he has decided to sell them. The shoes will be exhibited in Los Angeles‚ New York‚ London and Tokyo before going under the hammer at Heritage Auctions in December. The Judy Garland Museum and the Minnesota Historical Society are itching to acquire them for Judy Garland’s hometown museum‚ but with a pre-sale estimate of $3-5 million‚ they’re going to need a huge infusion of cash to beat the private bidders.

In an effort to enhance the educational outreach of their Starlink constellation‚ SpaceX has an interactive global map of their Starlink internet satellites‚ which provides live coverage of every satellite in orbit around the Earth. This interactive map comes as SpaceX continues to launch Starlink satellites into orbit on a near-weekly basis with the goal of providing customers around the world with high-speed internet while specifically targeting rural regions of the globe. In 2022‚ Starlink officially reached all seven continents after Starlink service became available in Antarctica. Additionally‚ SpaceX announced in 2023 a partnership with T-Mobiel for Starlink to provide mobile coverage‚ as well. 2021 video showing an early attempt at Starlink tracking Within this interactive map‚ users can opt to see live satellite coverage or rewind and fast forward their respective orbital speeds. Scrolling your mouse will highlight each satellite‚ and clicking on them will produce their individual satellite information and orbital trajectory‚ enabling the user to see if a particular satellite will pass over their location. Additionally‚ users can rotate the Earth and zoom in to anywhere on the planet. All in all‚ this interactive map gives users near-total control over identifying Starlink satellites currently orbiting the Earth. To complement the interactive map‚ users can find data on the number of satellites both launched and currently in orbit‚ noting a few hundred of the several thousand satellites have been deorbited to burn up on re-entry. As of this writing‚ 5‚977 satellites have been launched with 5‚601 satellites currently in operation‚ and the remaining 376 having been deorbited for a variety of reasons‚ including failing to reach their target orbit or containing design flaws‚ as Elon Musk recently announced he plans to deorbit 100 Starlink satellites slowly degrading their orbits over the next five years. Scrolling down the left menu provides users with information pertaining to the running gigabytes and terabytes having been sent to Earth‚ along with the most recent and next Starlink launch by SpaceX. Additionally‚ this menu provides the average time between Starlink launches‚ along with the number of satellites in orbit by SpaceX’s competition and how many Starlinks jobs are presently available at SpaceX. As noted‚ the goal of Starlink is to provide worldwide high-speed internet‚ with the interactive map noting “The Starlink constellation could serve up to 188‚180 MB/sec to Earth.” Despite the more than 5‚500 Starlink satellites currently in orbit‚ SpaceX hopes to launch up to 12‚000 satellites during this phase and possibly 42‚000‚ someday. Despite its impressive numbers and credentials‚ Starlink has been met with its share of backlash and controversy‚ including its negative impacts on astronomy‚ as reports have indicated the streaks from Starlink satellites caused by prolonged camera exposures result in obscuring optical images of the night sky from ground-based telescopes. Most recently‚ a 2023 study discussed both deliberate and accidental radio signals emanating from Starlink satellites that could interfere with radio astronomy. Additionally‚ there is growing concern over the increasing number of Starlink satellites could result in unavoidable collisions‚ leading to increasing space debris in Earth orbit. With thousands of Starlink satellites still scheduled to be launched into orbit‚ this Starlink interactive map is going to get busier‚ and hopefully along with the worldwide high-speed internet access it provides across the globe. How will Starlink contribute to internet availability in the coming years and decades? Only time will tell‚ and this is why we science! As always‚ keep doing science &; keep looking up!
