Congrats to Anthony!

I see front page of news.com.au has none other than Anthony Wesley and Jupiter!

Wow, congrats

Thanks guys, yes a random call today from a journo wanting to talk about Jupiter... was good fun although some of the info seems to have gotten mangled in the process :-)

cheers, Bird

Don't you hate it when they do that? The least they could do when they come to you for a story that puts pay in their pocket is get it right.

Wonderful work mate.

It's partly my own fault, I couldn't remember some of the numbers on the spot and suggested that he go and dig around on wikipedia or something to get exact values, but I don't think he did :-)

cheers, Bird

Don't you love how the rest of the headlines on the right side of the page are horrible stories?

Onya, Anthony.

Thanks Jen - and every time I see your tagline I can't help but think of "Pandora" from the recent PC game called Borderlands that I played for many many hours... not at all like Avatar :-)

Congrats on the story Anthony.

That's amazing that the belt has disappeared.

Dont panic guys - the missing belt is from all the photons that were sucked out last time by Anthony after he finished imaging. This year he is targeting the other main belt

Fantastic to have another 15 minutes of fame Anthony
