Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the matter's-goth-sister dept.

saudadelinux writes "To quote a press release on NASA's site, astronomers using the Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered 'how dark and normal matter have been forced apart in an extraordinarily energetic collision.' There will be a briefing at noon, August 21 ET, on this discovery, with streaming media provided by NASA, and some details of the research posted on Harvard's Chandra site just beforehand."

    Due to recent events at NASA, we'd appreciate everyone helping out by recording the stream of the event, and puttting it... well somewhere you can find it later.
