One Find, Two Astronomers

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-saw-it-first dept.

Malacon writes "The New York Times is running a story about Debate Between Astronomers who both claim to have discovered the same object beyond Pluto, and almost the same size. Apparantly the US Astronomers had been tracking it for quite some time, but chose to not report it yet. They also claim the Spanish Astronomers stole data to make the find."

    If you actually read the publication, The Origin of Species you would see that it was authored by someone else (I forget who) and credited to Darwin as a follow-up to his original publication. Hopefully you will see that my attidute twards FACTS is that I prefer to live by them rather than distort them to my own personal beliefs.
