Just seen the CBAT. This is indeed the greatest news. The one you will print and frame and keep for ever. I have no doubt that this is not the last the cbat guys will be hearing of Mr.Wesley!!

Brilliant discovery Anthony, it was even on Sky News at 6.45 this morning when they were doing the paper reviews. Lots of column inches on your discovery in "The Times" newspaper.


Here is a link to the online version

Keep up the good work, Bird!!

Best regards

It took a while didnt it, I was surprised it wasnt on the news in recent days.
As for the credit, its only fair play, who could have honestly thought of it was a "tip off"?
How can someone get a tip off about an impact on Jupiter, did they overhear it been mentioned in a bar or something?, morons! :stooges:
