Got it now.
All I got before was the Science Daily banner with a blank page.
Great article. Good to see talented amateurs given the opportunity to have input into valuable research.

Yeah, it's a really good positive article. There is even mention of one chap proud of his 7", something you would never expect to hear a professional talking about.

Very interesting and well-written article Ron, thanks for the link. The site's definitely worth bookmarking ... enough reading for a month of wet Sundays.

Yes mate, well I originally went there for the Binary Asteroid Revealed As Twin Rubble Piles aspect. I never thought about asteroids having a binary action and found it amazing. You're right about bookmarking the site, it's a ripper, plus you can subscribe to their daily newsletter which is full of good stuff

Yes half of the story could well go in that thread, the other half deals with binary asteroids perhaps a moderator might attach it to the other thread if they deem it appropriate
