If you'd like to see these in real time, Follow me at Twitter. A word on some conventions: "RT" means "Retweet" -- I'm repeating something that somebody else said. Anything preceded by an "@" symbol is the username of someone else on Twitter. Twitter is a microblogging service that limits updates to 140 characters in length; I use it primarily to post links to stories I don't have time to write about here on the blog and to mention really really tiny bits of news that aren't worth full blog entries.

For Moon water papers, Chandrayaan-1 and DI data are not public, but Cassini's is -- search http://bit.ly/12RqiO for VIMS on Aug 18 1999.

I've gotten what I can out of the 3 Moon water papers. They contradict each other in places, which is fun. Looking forward to the briefing.
