Media Advisory: Press Conference in Brazil to Announce Discovery in Outer Solar System
European Southern Observatory ^ | 25 March 2014 | ann14021

Posted on 03/26/2014 7:59:37 AM PDT by SpinnerWebb

An international team of astronomers, led by Felipe Braga-Ribas (Observatório Nacional/MCTI, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), has used telescopes at seven locations in South America, including the 1.54-metre Danish and TRAPPIST telescopes at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile, to make a surprise discovery in the outer Solar System. This unexpected result raises several unanswered questions and is expected to provoke much debate. A press conference will be held in Brazil to present the new results and allow opportunities for questions.

When: The conference will be held on 26 March 2014 at 14:30 local time (BRT) and will take place in Portuguese with a summary in English. Who: The conference presenters are: Felipe Braga-Ribas, Observatório Nacional/MCTI, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Bruno Sicardy, LESIA, Observatoire de Paris, CNRS, Paris, France Prof. Roberto Martins, Observatório Nacional/MCTI, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Prof. Julio Camargo, Observatório Nacional/MCTI, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Where: The event takes place in Observatório Nacional, Auditório do Grupo de Pesquisas em Astronomia (GPA), in the GPA/LINEA Building in Rua General José Cristino, 77, Bairro de São Cristovão, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, 20921-400, Brazil.

The New Horizons team is due to make an announcement about a Kuiper belt object today. They say it isn’t about anything the NH craft will be visiting after the Pluto fly by.
