E a NASA convocou uma conferência de imprensa para discutir uma descoberta do telescópio de raios-x Chandra.

Assim como o Antonio Fontenelle colocou em seu blog, também acho que é para discutir sobre a imensa estrutura descoberta em nossa galáxia. Nada com o se preocupar. Mas eu confesso que estou curioso para saber se realmente é isso.

Segue o texto da convocação da NASA (no original, em inglês):

WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a news conference at 12:30 p.m. EST on Monday, Nov. 15, to discuss the Chandra X-ray Observatory's discovery of an exceptional object in our cosmic neighborhood.

The news conference will originate from NASA Headquarters' television studio, 300 E St. SW in Washington and carried live on NASA TV.

Media representatives may attend the conference, join by phone or ask questions from participating NASA locations. To RSVP or obtain dial-in information, journalists must send their name, affiliation and telephone number to Trent Perrotto at: trent.j.perrotto@nasa.gov by 10 a.m. EST on Nov. 15. Reporters wishing to attend the conference in-person must have a valid press credential for access. Non-U.S. media also must bring passports.
