Although the article layout seems to have changed since it was uploaded this afternoon.
Pics look to have suddenly become smaller and text runs wider across the page. There's a bit too much white space around the pics as a result, and the quotation boxes look peculiar.
Thank you Rob and Matt for a very interesting, readable and insightful interview exploring the research, the process, the politics and the man that led to the discovery of this amazing comet.
Rob was the keynote speaker at the Qld Astrofest in 1999 where also he cut a dashing figure with an excellent performance in tossing the counterweight.
A most interesting article. Thanks to Matt and to Mr McNaught for taking the time to pose and answer the questions.
There are times when one wonders whether researchers live in some form of ivory tower enclave and never connect to the Common Man. Obviously Mr McNaught is not of that ilk.
Interview with Rob McNaught!
