Hungry4info: Here's my favorite Web resource for figuring out what time something is: www.timeanddate.com/worldclock The ESA Web briefing starts at 11:55 CEST. Here's a page with that time converted to all sorts of other time zones.

It'll be ~5 AM for me when it comes on... going to pull an all-nighter .On top of all different time zone there is this "am" "pm" that we do not use in most of EU countries :it's 1 to 24 and that's it. BTW, what about sols on Mars? -------------------- |

Dear Ted...you MUST admit that things are changing for better...
I didn't found Paolo Ferri's statement confusing...Rosetta's the rock...solid as a rock... And now...exclusive for UMSF!...the first Steins image ever seen outside ESA's realm!   From here... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
