My wife (of the "get the larger version of the telescope" fame last year) just published a new paper in JGR-Planets. New ice in Space, and the first of it's kind to be found in 100 years!

"A new material for the icy Galilean moons: the structure of sulfuric acid hexahydrate."

The research has been picked up by ABC Science and *may* eventually have some implications for future Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer-type missions.

I'm very proud of my wife, even if she'd struggle to find Jupiter in the sky
Well done on your wife Andy. A great achievement.

Cheers Pete
