Story is also up on the ABC Science News website, exciting stuff, with the ramifications it can lead to for elsewhere out there in the galaxy. Was only a matter of time before H2O was detected out there somewhere, everywhere.

I've got a quiet weekend coming up so might take a quick look around it. Need tobe back by Monday lunchtime though.
