NASA announcement to be made tomorrow...

[Andy Mac]

Just picked up this bulletin from another forum:

NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.

Full story can be found here.

Wonder if they've found evidence of intelligent life here on Earth??!! ;D ;D

Andy or anybody else:

What is diameter of a practical GOOD radio or X Ray telescope?


I know X ray systems only work in Earth orbit but I am trying to figure out if you need something the size of Jodrell Bank
(60 meters I think?) to do useful work in say deep field galactic
clusters research?

You can get the direct feed from NASA by going to www.nasa.gov.

For those in N. America with cable/satellite TV systems; you should have a NASA channel on your system.

The press conference was pretty boring BTW.
