Who knew...
- FUSE confirms η Carinae is a binary details here
- Gravity Probe B has finished taking data - we await the analysis with baited breath...
- ESO claims a detection of another "runaway" star - this time in the LMC! A massive black hole in the LMC? Hmm. The news story makes no sense, actually, referring alternately to ejection from the Milky Way center to the LMC and ejection from the LMC itself. Better read the paper I guess...
- NPOESS in big trouble - that's Not Good (see also on NASAwatch
Strangely, if I have 5+ consecutive hours of meetings, and then have to do paperwork for an hour+, I find myself distinctly lack freshness and enthusiasm for presenting original thought, no matter how trite.

GP-B: That would be "bated breath" for some of us. Though we've been waiting so long it is hard to get too worked up over another few months or years. And what exactly do we anticipate finding: either they get the expected answer and confirm predictions of GR that have largely been tested in other ways, or they get a different answer and confirm that the experiment was awfully ambitious. It is hard to imagine people taking a deviation seriously enough to suggest actually flying another mission to confirm it. --A.D.
