Oh boy! This is going to be like the Eurovision Song
contest without all the songs, Terry Wogan or having
to wait until May.
I can barely contain my excitement.

See you there!

[meteorite-list] THE IAU VOTE -- LIVE VIDEO

2006-08-23 Thread Sterling K. Webb

Hi, All,


   There will be live streaming video of the final session
of the IAU General Assembly XXXVI, that is, the vote
on the planetary definition question, at this website:
http://www.astronomy2006.com/media-stream-live.php
at 2 PM local time (2:00 PM in Prague, or 14:00 hours CEST, 
Central European Summer Time, or GMT + 2 hours) which is:


9:00 AM EST or 8:00 AM EDT, 
8:00 AM CST or 7:00 AM CDT, 
7:00 AM MST or 6:00 AM MDT, 
6:00 AM PST or 5:00 AM PDT

(One hour earlier for Alaska,
two hours earlier for Hawaii).

   The content of the Final Resolution is unknown.
http://www.iau2006.org/mirror/www.iau.org/NEWS.55.0.html
says:
   We will tomorrow morning at roughly 8:30 CEST 
issue a press release. It will contain the Final Resolution 
on the planet definition put up for voting, the details of the 
voting procedure and an approximate timeline. (That's in

less than three hours from now.)

   The vote is a straight yes or no. If the vote is no,
there is no definition.
