It'll take a month or two for them to get back to us. And no, we don't know yet if it's a coincidence whether it's aligned or not. Well, we hit the deadline.

I'm wondering if this is just a coincidence, or is there a direct physical relationship between these objects. P.S. Any word on the VLA application?

Good luck with the VLA proposal. Stuart says…. you need to fix your link to Phil Plait’s blog as it currently points at bandastronomy.com. Good luck with the VLA proposal.
