A BIG day in space!

Rosetta is in space at last - no earlier morning firework show this time off the Ariane launcher!

See: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/ariane/v158/040302launch.html for more info.

Rosetta

Rover confirms past liquid water on Mars!

The Opportunity Rover appears to be in a region which was soaking wet in the past. This is a great discovery and was determined from the chemical composition of rocks within the region.

See: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2004/mar/HQ_04077_water_on_mars.html for more.

 

On a more personal note today I have had a good day, one problem - I did some calculations of exoplanets I believe that TPF (Terrestrial Planet Finder) can find, guess what I don't agree with NASA. Well there is obviously one answer - they are wrong! Only joking - guess I better look into it to see what I am missing out on. Damn interferometer!
