I must get half of my blog entry material from the sharp-eyed people on this site... http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...indpost&p=39115 Since I posted that, I've gotten an email from someone saying that there will be a publication in Nature tomorrow that flip-flops again on the size of UB313 -- hopefully another sharp-eyed watcher will post that link here as soon as it appears! --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
