Days before announcing his discovery, however, a group of Spanish astronomers claimed the new planetoid.
American researchers said they learned that the Spanish scientists had discovered where Brown was aiming a Chilean telescope by using an Internet search engine. That's quite a slick maneuver. But I don't think the American scientists have much recourse. Such is way of the internet.
BTW, Nasty, you're on a roll with the great articles tonight.

I suggest the planetoid be named Ladron (thief, in Spanish), in honor of the scientists who think this behavior is acceptable.

How hard up can you be for an achievement to pull a cheap trick like this?
I would like to see the Spanish award ceremony for this.

I thought that "I saw it first" when out with graduation from elementary school. Guess not. Maybe they call it "reliving childhood".

This is outrageous. I'm sure no science professor would ever claim credit for another's work.

The dispute began in July when Michael Brown, a professor at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, discovered a new planetoid in the solar system known as the Kuiper Belt. Someone needs to find the editor of this article and give him a well-deserved thrashing.
As written, this sounds as if the planetoid was discovered in some solar system, and that solar system was "known as the Kuiper Belt". Nope.
Or that the new planetoid was itself "known as the Kuiper Belt". Uh uh.
Corrected, it should read something like, "discovered a new planetoid in the the region of our solar system known as the Kuiper Belt

Hey, Amigos...
Let's peer over the smart guy's shoulder and see what he's doing, then jump up first and shout "EUREKA" once we've figured it out!

Edgar Allan Poe made the mistake of publishing The Raven in a newspaper. Thereafter it was public property, and he couldn't collect royalties.

Michael Brown, a professor at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, discovered a new planetoid But Mike Brown is incompetent, I thought.
Anyway, none of this matters until somebody plants a flag on it.
