Of course, this is nothing compared with the amazing extrapolations made from the spectra of a few ancient and distant supernovae (More on that and its relation to the dark energy story coming on Sciencebase this summer). Nice one Andrew, I think actually it was always a bit optimistic of us to refer to this as Earth 1.0 at best it was a beta test at worst, we didn't even make it past the alpha testing stage. Just watch for signs of a blue screen of death some day soon.

These are vanishingly small signals that are being read here. A really astonishing discovery. What stuns me is how much information can be gleaned from so little data.
