The capsule began its return to Japan a few moments ago as I write this. Seems like a good time to start a new topic for the much-anticipated final results of this epic mission.

I hope we can get an official statement soon... the suspense is driving me "super-nuts".... Did we know that there were two chambers inside the cannister? I am angry the way they provide info only bit by bit. Anyway, this morning's Asahi Shimbun newspaper carried another article about the grains, even with a photo with the needle and the grain (I looked for the photo link, but I could not get it anywhere, even with other newspapers). It said basically the same thing, except the existence of two chambers. So far, only one of them has been opened and "so far, two 0.01 mm size grains have been picked up". This "so far" may mean some more grains. That was the nuance of the article. Those found on the outer skin are supposed be of Earth origin. In any event Prof Kawaguchi said he was glad the cannister was not empty. I am not happy the way info is provided. I have not yet checked JAXA pages. Pandaneko |
