TomK,
I read this headline this morning:
NASA to Unveil Exoplanet Discovery Thursday
https://www.space.com/39032-nasa-alien-p...ement.html
I know this type of announcement is embargoed, so even if you might have some inside information on the discovery you wouldn't be able to say anything until after the public announcement. But for those of us on the edge of our seats, do you know, or can you say, whether any of the observatories on Mauna Kea are involved with this latest discovery?
With so many exoplanets already discovered, this one must be unique in some way.
"Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm." -James Madison, The Federalist Papers, 1787
