Have all you folks seen or noticed the almost word for word similarity of these 'news' bits. I think there is a lot of cut and paste in their racket.
That is why it should be corrected before it is promulgated widely.

oh no ...
please, not another "Armageddon" or "Deep Impact" movie ...
... those were just horrible, i sure hope hollywood isn't paying any attention right now!
i just hope the news will sink in with the general public without any unnecessary media-hype ...
BTW, great find Bird

Yep, there's a lot of it going on. Basically it's plagiarism.

Congrats, Bird.
Its nice to see people like you and other various discovers like our own S/Nova guys, comet hunters, occulation imagers and any other people we have in IIS that contribute to real astro science. This is what astronomy is all about, making new discoveries.
What a nice trophy you have now to add to your collection.
Us Aussies can hold our own.
Regards Matt.

I don't think any of the major TV channels took up coverage of Anthony's discovery. Pretty poor, if you ask me.
Let's see if they decide to do something over the next few days.

Congratulations Anthony!
Amazing photos that look like they came from Hubble.
I guess the spot will grow bigger over the coming days like S-L-9 did? Unfortunately it's cloudy here, as per usual when anything is happening the sky...

He's been swamped by media today... talk about a crazy time, the phone has literally not stopped ringing, and it was funny having photographers out here trying to squeeze around the scope taking piccies...
Thanks to everyone for the comments, I really appreciate it, hopefully things will quiet down a bit now that the moon landing anniverary is past...
cheers, Bird
