Doesn't the HST have better things to do?

I could have easily waited until New Horizons got there 3 years from now to learn about one more meaningless little object in this cluster of Kuiper belt objects.

I don't even consider this a real discovery. We would have learned about it soon enough anyways.

No this is not sarcasm. I honestly believe this was a waste of time.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
