QUOTE (nprev @ Oct 19 2007, 04:52 AM)  Agreed, Rui...overall excellence for your blog, you got me on the daily hook!  This is a cliffhanger...can hardly wait to see what they may tell us... Thanks guys... I woke up with this interrogation flying around my head...what to put in?... Did he meant to say that, first...they are choosing the most important ones or...second...may it be a question of spectacular abundance of discovered exoplanets and they just can't decide what to present to the public?

IMO they are debating where to draw the line that separates what they feel they can state with confidence, and the more speculative stuff.
If these two are clearly separated, it is no problem to announce both. However, the press is always ready to jump on the vagon of speculation waving huge red flags, so the team's carefulness is understandable and appreciated.

The COROT announcement has been delayed...
Hold on! Before you start booing ESA this was done to permit the team to have their scientific publications written and submitted to refereed journals... And there is already a date, Dec 10.

QUOTE (ustrax @ Nov 7 2007, 12:21 PM) Paris...anyone around with sneaking abilities? My Mission Impossible days are over.....  But Paris sure sounds nice to this USA midwesterner!!!!I am, of course, hoping for big revelations, but seriously think that any report as big as terrestrial radii planets will probably have to wait for good solid RV mass determinatons... and this might be too soon for that. At the least, they can report that planet transit probables are VERY common... which bodes well. Also believe there wil be a strong desire, given what they find, to trump KEPLER. Noticed the audio press conference regarding 55Cancri f did not even mention COROT, but KEPLER was mentioned several times. I do not care WHO finds WHAT, as long as the exploration continues. viva la planete!!!!!! Craig |

Debra Fischer visited the blog and her hopes, by what it seems to me, are not so on KEPLER but on JWST, and she mentioned COROT... She also makes reference to her wish of seing a spaceborn astrometry mission but the costs man...the costs?! Fischer hopes that resources can be pooled across the world, working together is the way she sees things happening... That sounds good...EVERYONE finding EVERYTHING...

Ustrax... just got back from your blog.
Nice interview with Debra Fischer....... Cooperation is a necessity for the really large space telescope wish lists like SIM and TPF. Found a white paper regarding JWST contribution of astrobiology (geez, I remember when we called it exobiology). http://www.stsci.edu/jwst/science/whitepap...ST-astrobio.pdf There is a whole set of JWST white papers online http://www.stsci.edu/jwst/science/whitepapers/ Given what Spitzer has contributed to exoplanet and dust disks research, JWST will be great!!!!!

Sorry Ustrax but in addition to sneaking abilities I would also need splitting capacities because I will be in business trip in Italy at this time.

brellis asked: "when will Epsilon Eridani b have its Kodak moment?"
DelPalmer answered: QUOTE (Del Palmer @ Oct 18 2007, 05:24 AM) Late December (the exact date depends on HST scheduling issues). Where might one find an HST observing schedule? Will they be able to get a good look without ACS? |
