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.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

QUOTE (eoincampbell @ Jul 6 2010, 05:47 AM)  I hope we can get an official statement soon... the suspense is driving me "super-nuts".... A little more information. 1. JAXA Japanese website now carries an announcement about grain discovery, but it is so short and offers very little beyond newspaper reports. No info yet on English page site. 2. http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/zoom/20100705-OYT9I00953.htm This is the photo from Nihon Keizai newspaper. Dark line is the needle shadow. 3. The same newspaper quoted Prof Kawaguchi's comment and it says he thinks those found on the outer skin (a dozen or so larger grains visible to naked eyes) and inside have equal probability of coming from Itokawa. I am utterly confused now. Only yesterday newspaper reports were saying that the larger ones are supposed to be of Earth origin... Pandaneko |
