We've seen a surprising number of rings around planets, with small ones around Jupiter and Neptune. Any sign of one or more around Pluto?

(Pluto will be a planet until they pry my telescope from my cold, dead hands)

I am currently struggling to train my puppy to pee in the right place (not in the house), so how do you train the rats to sniff out the explosives? Any tips on training my dog? Do your Herorats get a reward after a successful "hunt?

Given that your projects rely on the general public looking at and assessing images, do you have much of a problem with people submitting results that are just plain wrong, either by accident or maliciously? How do you filter the inevitable errors (again, either deliberate or accidental) out?

First, congratulations on the discovery! One question: do blazar jets move as the blazar rotates? I understand that a blazar (awesome name by the way) sends out two jets from the poles as it rotates, but do these jets shift? I am thinking of something like the polar tilt on earth that causes seasons. If a blazar has any sort of similar movement, that would affect the observation, yes?
