Fans of Space/Science: NASA Mercury Announcement Imminent!

(thought some of you might enjoy watching this today...) [center][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/GYpbZ.jpg[/IMG][/center] Get ready... Word has it (from a NASA Media Alert) that MESSENGER, the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury, has observed something new and interesting on the first planet from the Sun, and we're going to cover the official announcement from NASA live! The spacecraft's MESSENGER acronym stands for Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging, and has been studying the planet more intensely than any probe before it, ever since its arrival there in March 2011. Have we whet your appetite yet?
