Jeez, fella, keep up with your own schedule, will ya? The Director's discretionary time got approved on Sunday and you're go for observation. I'd have thought you'd have the command load by now.
Anyhow, bon chance! Grab some good images for us. I might need one as a reference image, in case somebody decides to see if there's any far UV reflection spectrum to be seen coming off that ice ball.
Hmmm, maybe I'll be getting the upload later today or tomorrow, I'm not seeing it in my banks at this moment. I was just browsing around the NASA website while doing an exposure today, and stumbled across the news. I look forward to seeing what the actual command load will be and what the results are.
Shame I can't leak the results before any official press releases, but I'll see if I can't bend the rules. No promises.
Whee! Click click click. Looks like I spoke too soon, the pictures have now been taken, and are being analyzed on the ground I understand. Turns out it was part of my load yesterday. Wow, I didn't even realize what I was looking at!
You got a nice long article in Newsday today, all about how you were doing neat things and surprising the astronomers with what's in your ultra-deep field. Apparently they think you might have photographed either an Oort cloud object or a brown or white dwarf, along with all the far distant stuff. And there are fewer supernovae than expected, but some dim stars that should be bright, which might be a pre-supernova phase.
