Large world found beyond Pluto
So that’s where the alien base is! Call NASA. Update: More coverage and discussion of what they’re calling Quaoar on Slashdot. More coverage at National Geographic and a Quaoar FAQ (FAQuaoar?) at CalTech. Gotta dig the temporary name vs. its provisional designation 2002 LM60. Doesn’t run trippingly off the tongue, does it? Google News search. Update: And still more coverage over at SpaceToday.net.
Davis vs. Simon Debate Today
A month away from the elections for California governor, there’s a debate today featuring current CA governor Gray Davis and Republican challenger Bill Simon, starting in about an hour and a half. Update: post-debate coverage here at the L.A. Times (reg. required), and here’s more at the Sac Bee (damn popups). Possibly hoping to avoid the Naderization of the California gubenatorial race, the Green guy has been barred from participating (that, and the 12% less than 15% required in a Times poll to get in the door).
