Interesting article. I particularly enjoyed the exposition of the way the astrophysicists are handling the data (ie. asking the questions as to whether either this anomaly violates any OTHER accepted pardigms or can be explained by them) rather than invoking some really far-out explanation that violates every presently known paradigm in many far-flung fields of inquiry.

Very instructive as to how scientists work.

I hope you didn't miss the part where they are about to lose critical data because NASA is going to scrap the only computer that can translate the early data. This article is actually a request for assistance (monetary) in translating that data into a newer format so that it can be saved and analyzed.
