“If I’m going to be a singer, that’s the sort of singer I want to be.”
He discovered the Bee Gees early in their career and signed them to his publishing company before they rose to global fame.
Col Joye once carried his ukulele everywhere on tour, often waking up to play a new cheerful tune each morning for his bandmates.

“This unveiling the sky, made with instruments of great aperture, does not help in the perusal of the sky for faint comets. Thus my object is different from his, and I need only nebulae visible in a telescope of two feet [focal length].”
Charles Messier was best known for creating the Messier Catalog, a list of 110 nebulae and star clusters.
He discovered 13 comets during his lifetime, earning him the nickname "The Comet Ferret" from King Louis XV.
Messier's catalog was originally intended to help comet hunters distinguish between permanent deep-sky objects and transient comets.
The Messier Catalog remains one of the most famous and widely used lists in amateur astronomy, and many of its objects are popular targets for observation.
