Major Scientific Discovery on Extrasolar Planets / ESA TV News / 25-01-2006
Editor’s note: A New Path to New Earths, NSF webcast, Wednesday, January 25, 2006 – 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., ET
Editor’s note: If you go to the link ESA has posted in this press release, the same information contained in this press release is available for anyone – anywhere – to read. As such, it is rather confusing for ESA to repeatedly use the word “EMBARGO” in connection with this press release – one which reveals almost nothing – in the first place.
The next transmission of the ESA TV Service will be:
25-Jan-06 16:00 – 16:15 GMT
Major Scientific Discovery – EMBARGOED
ESA TV News
Background information on the transmission:
Replay 1: 27 January 2006, 10:15-10:30 GMT
Replay 2: 28 January 2006, 11:30-11:45 GMT
