This will be where we talk about the data as it arrives over the next 20 months or so.

Hi Ian- Thanks for that very revealing "de-rotated" animation. We on the science team had been planning to do the same thing, but you beat us to it.

Thanks for the feedback: it's an honor to be tangentially involved with the team as new discoveries are being made about UT. Ian. -------------------- |
