To add to this, it's possible we could be discovering things for decades. There's a pretty long tail on this sort of data.

For example, a new moon of Neptune was announced in 2013, but the observations that detected it were taken from 2004-2009, and it was then located on images from the Voyager flyby in 1989.

It's possible that the team has captured images of a new moon, but it looks like a background star or was missed. It's possible some sharp-eyed postgrad will find it in 20 years and get a PHD out of the deal.

I love science.

Is there a prize for that? I feel like there should be a prize.

Hey Toady! I just want to thank you for the wonderful crayon art of a dwarf riding a hampster. I have it framed on my wall, even!

I just wanted to let you know that I think DF is pretty much the best game ever.

If you're in or around Minnesota, Hill Annex State Park in Calumet also does fossil digs. They're talking about shutting down the park and re-opening the mine, but I haven't heard anything lately.

I found this shark tooth there last summer.
