It's great news for Rolf. He's also been picked up by the Bad Astronomer blog and Slash Dot.

His website will be going crazy with hits!

Well done Rolf.

The /. item is a link to Bad Astronomy.

MailOnline said Beta Pic was 60 million ly away, not the 63 ly that it is. Let's see it they edit the story or publish my reply.

Thanks very much to all of you for your nice comments. I've had a crazy day with reporters on the phone pretty much constantly!
It's on NZ TV and radio, I've posted an update over on the Beta Pictoris thread: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=83185
