Hayabusa has done it again.

Tragically (well, not that tragically) I missed the live blogging of Hayabusa's 26 November descent to Itokawa. It looks like it was sucessful, and the team think there was successful surface sampling. We will have to wait for further analysis for confirmation.

Ian, I had the Hayabusa video link (from the control room) on for a couple of hours but finally got bored of seeing people standing around not doing a great deal. I guess all the excitement happened after I switched off. Typical!

P.S. Did you know that your fame is spreading? You are now linked to from the Institute of Astronomy (University of Hawaii) http://www2.ifa.hawaii.edu/newsletters/article.cfm?a=247&n=22

Good Heavens! You, me, the Bad Astronomer and some bloke I've never heard of. Such August company. You and I actually make up 15% of all blogs listed. I better find something interesting to say then.
