Distracted this morning by driving past the St Louis arch, I’ve made it into the convention centre for the first full day of the American Astronomical Society meeting. Currently, I’m sitting in the press room next to a rapidly diminishing plate of delicious local breakfast food trying to work out what on Earth we’re going to be doing today.
The first of the press conferences is on galaxies in ten minutes or so, and the day includes announcements on extrasolar planets, talks about everyone’s favourite use of the Spitzer Space Telescope, the GOODS survey and much other good stuff. I’ll be writing here, but also keep an eye on the Astronomy Cast Live site where we’re compiling all of our coverage.
More shortly…
