With me regularly. And so here we are today. Reporter after each fire, the building was all boarded up but people got in each time. The cause of the fire is under investigation. But gallo told me there was a fight between two groups at the property and one group ticked the other out. Gallo says the evicted group apparently came back and started the fire. The councilman says the building is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places which is added to the challenges in deciding the future of the building. Now, ironically, a west Oakland Baptist church had recently offered to buy the building for 300,000. Far below market value. They will discuss the proposal in april. Henry lee, ktvu fox 2 news. Does it look like the building is a total loss . It looked like there was some left but are they saying its a total loss. Reporter its destroyed. What was left of it after the boards have been up were taken down not much left inside. Thank you, henry lee. On ktvu. Com well post the latest
[applause] i just realized i dont know if we get a sound check. Its so good to see everyone here. I love doing book events because weve got to keep books alive. I want to thank the Simons Foundation for supporting all of our initiatives here when we do live in the present date for private events that are science themed or inspired and its with their support we are able to do these. So a shout out to science. [applause] i want to mention before i introduce the guest of for the amateur Astronomers Association of new york will be out in the garden. Its going to be out in the cold garden tonight with telescopes to help us do this guys and the claim is the clouds will clear write about exactly as we finish the last question and also we will have a book signing for the glass universe so we will have a book signing over here and then we will do a little q a after the conversation. But we introduced the guests. Im sure a lot of you have heard of our guest. I want to introduce david sobel of th

Reporter well, for one thing, liz, they are not going to be out here in long sleeves and pants. It is hot. They say they have several options. They usually involve air conditioning and a pool. During this weeks weather, you dont have to work out to break a sweat. So if the prospect of 115plus degrees ahead, the coaches of diablo in Pleasant Hill are firing up the swamp cooler and changing out workouts to keep athletes safe. We have fans and keep them indoors. Reporter Contra Costa County Fire District is changing things up, too. All summer they carried extra staff for fire danger. And this weekend, the way those extra bodies respond to calls may change. One of the things that we will probably do this weekend with the really High Temperature is call for greater alarms early. So if we had a fire that occurred today it might be a single alarm. But saturday we might call three alarms because thats heat exhaustion on the firefighters would be tougher. Reporter the ris something high, risk i
Interesting in all in studying the moon. It was close, it was boring, you could see it pretty clearly. There wasnt much there. Jerad was the only one that wanted to do and that became important in 1961 when the president announced that we were going to send people to the moon. Why did he come to tucson to study the moon. Jerard made it a hub of science and in my book i talk about tucson as the birthplace of science, not only did we have dark skies but a clear view of the planets. He set up telescopes dedicated to studying moon and planet, essentially unheard of at the time. How is astronomy different from Planetary Science . Planetary scientists studied things that were closer to us. If you want to study planets, you have to understand sciences and a very different type of feel. Weve discovered extra solar planets which are out beyond and you need techniques in both fields, you need to know geology but very powerful telescopes in looking at things that are far away.
