That puts a different spin on the film October Sky and the many songs 
and tributes about Sputnik visibility in the sky. It isn't a beautiful 
apparition, it's a foreboding speck.

Just what exact feeling was Spielberg and the rest of the directors 
trying to instill in us looking at that cold oncoming winter sky? 
Because it isn't anything like what this article talks about. This says 
that it is a horrible omen of terrible things to come, not the cold 
stark beauty of a pinnacle of light.

That makes me feel better because I've always been sort of jealous that 
all those older guys who were alive when Sputnik went up got to see 
something I didn't.

Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a
sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage.
The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath,
whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There
Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.
