Thanks for the heads up, esp. for us far away from Canberra, Tom.
The IOP website http://iopscience.iop.org/ looks like a wonderful resource
for us science heads.
Minor quibble in your blog posting: the sun is 8 light minutes from the
earth. If it were 8 light seconds as mentioned, we would have a major global
warming problem.
