These findings demonstrate just how many things are still to be discovered in the "last frontier". And quite often it is the "amateurs" who make the discoveries, emphasising the importance of what so many of us see as an enjoyable and rewarding hobby. It's a pity Hubble technology is a tad beyond our budgets .

Cheers,
Graeme

Amazing stuff! Just when they think they have it mapped, and Bingo! Another suprise!!

I wonder if Aliens viewing Earth are saying "look at how the rings have gone out of orbit and are chaotic! (All our sattelites!)
