The Moonster Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/nasa-amazing-announcement-pluto-alan-stern-a6684981.html "Amazing announcement" about Pluto to be made today, according to Alan Stern. "Whilst speaking about the latest images of Pluto captured by the New Horizons probe, Stern said: "Nasa won't let me tell you what we're going to tell you on Thursday. It's amazing." "As reported by The Guardian, Stern said: "This world is alive." "It has weather, it has hazes in the atmosphere, active geology... Every week I am floored." Edit to add - Can we ban wisbit from trying to ruin this great thread any further? Edited October 8, 2015 by The Moonster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were talking about it on Radio Scotland at lunchtime. The boffin said it was unlikely but so were all the natural explanations they had come up with so far, so it couldn't be ruled out as yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm out of red dots (used them up on the Benefits Sanctions thread), but if I remember tomorrow you'll be receiving one for the use of a brain dead tabloid term. I make no apologies.
