Nobel Prize in Physics just announced October 6, 2020 10:47 am RL

This is the closest I have come to the Nobel Prize!!!

The Keck laser guide star is mentioned (briefly) on the award announcement, and I was listed as a (minor) co-author on Dr. Ghez’s first paper on observations of the black hole at the center of the galaxy taken with the Laser Guide star…

Forgive me, but this made my day!
