It was a thrill seeing Bird's photo on Sky at Night this week which I am able to see by downloading the show in Miami.

Astronomer of the Year must come into this for sure.
You deserve all the accolades.

Hahaha, shoe in.
How many other people do you know that have taken first accounts of 2 cataclysmic events and most of all "lived" to tell the tale.........
Let alone, a person that beats NASA to the job....... twice......

Hello All,

NASA has weighed in to the fray with this article on the "missing debris".

Hey Bird,

Just how good is this HST image, what an absolute stunner, been looking at it for an hour or so and still finding new structure and detail to rave over.

Still....... I reckon if NASA pushed a little funding your way you could give them a run for their money.

Regards
Trevor

Too right, your finding was spot on so quick to determin high altitude burn-up too.

Thanks guys, hubble has a small advantage over us, but I reckon we can close that a bit more in the next few years :-)

cheers, Bird
