Today in history January 26, 1554:
Thomas Wyatt rebellion apparently on behalf of the future Queen Elizabeth I?:
"On January 26 Wyatt occupied Rochester, and issued a proclamation to the county."

However, when the people of Maidstone rebelled against the crown in support of Thomas Wyatt in 1554, this charter was revoked, although a new charter was established five years later, when Maidstone was created a borough.

There's a place out on the east shore of Three Mile Harbor on Long Island named Maidstone that always has me wondering. Freetown at the base of the harbor was of free slaves and natives. I tested on the west shore, near a former boys camp a couple of years ago, there was girls camp at Maidstone, across the Peconic Bay from Cartwright Island attached sort of to Gardiners Island, the last surviving English manor in North America.
They say the Jones Act might stop the Rochester, NY highspeed ferry from coming to NYC, we can't go from US port to US port on foreign built ships, but can go back and forth to Toronto, Canada on the Australian built ship.
New planet news: My alma mater Stony Brook University was involved in some of the first "sightings" way out there. Fiber optic connecting two telescopes may increase resolving power by 10. It might be interesting to see if Internet2 hooks up more, however the optic cable has to be "matched". My astronomy professor there dated Kohoutek's wife before she married him. That comet sort of whizzed out as a public event. Uhura's brother (Nichelle Nichols of "Star Trek" fame) however died at the "Heaven's Gate" debacle. They had "alien abduction insurance" from England, I doubt they'll be offering that again!
