HiRISE Stay tuned, HiFans, we'll be making a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT next Wednesday...! :-o Hmmm... is it literally something BIG, or maybe they found MPL? |

I assume it's Wednesday because that's when the HiRISE team releases new images.

QUOTE (elakdawalla @ Jan 16 2010, 08:17 AM)  I assume it's Wednesday because that's when the HiRISE team releases new images. Wednesday is also the day of the week the latest issues of Nature hit the web and press releases based on papers published in Nature are posted. Not that I'm saying that it is a paper in Nature. Just pointing that out. I've been personally watching Science (which posts on Thursdays), so I can post a certain news item on my blog. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!
