More A Way Of Life… Look, this is just between you and me

One Of Those Weeks

Where I keep spotting/hearing about things that I should blog, but not being near a machine at the time, then forgetting. I'm also aware that I haven't commented on the last two episodes of Doctor Who, which I need to get done at some point.

At this point I'll just content myself with mentioning the discovery of the likeliest extra-solar planet yet to have the right conditions for surface water. Several years ago I interviewed the people involved in a TV programme called Planet Hunters (does exactly what it says on the tin) about the methods they use and the amount of detail they can deduce about planets they discover. In those few years, the capability has increased so rapidly that I suspect those people wouldn't believe it.
