[...] But suddenly up pops fame again. Not only did Brian May give a cogent talk on Zodiacal Dust, he added a movie he made of the dust being made in solar system collisions, complete with grandiose guitar sound track. And two days later Richard Ellis started his talk accompanied by a BBC film crew, Caltech having issued a press release about the six faint smudges that MIGHT be redshift ten galaxies. I got back to my room and thought well I can blog about that. But of course Chris Lintott, who was also there, had already done it. [...]

Spotted this on the news last night (along with Chris explaining GalaxyZoo) including I think, (it was very brief) some images annotated with Ly alpha

Hi Chris

I was there too .. did you spot the bit of filming that occured during Richard’s talk ? Richard told me just after that he thinks this will be on the 6 o’clock BBC news. Oooh gosh look at the time – I am probably just missing it ..

Do remember we have been here before… ESO issued a press release in 2004 about a z=10 galaxy but it went away…
