Okay, here we are in early February and I haven’t had a problem for months. At least not since you cleaned out the bad Cms in early October, Thank you for that. I see that since early December no one else has either . That’s good. Just now however: Feb. 03, 08 at 8:35 PM Pacific time I ran into a s...

Thanks for the question jelfving, To directly answer your question, as yet there are no automated limits set to remove a movie from the active search database. Typically, movies have been removed or added manually at intervals that depend largely on the progress of automated microscope scanning and ...

Hi All, I'm glad you two decided to work the numbers. A few million movies when all is said and done is about right. There are a few factors which were not mentioned that change your calculations in detail: things like the switch from lower to higer resolution, an overlap between fields of view by a...

Most of those movies were reviewed further and have lead to the candidates list or have been placed into the alpha list, which is now being reviewed.

Hi All, Glad to know that some of you are still watching us closely :) We have just implemented a new feature on the Stardust@home website to make our candidate selection procedure more transparent. The Alpha list (link found on the News submenu) is a list of the top scoring movies as determined by ...

No. The track in that movie is just really, really small.

Would like to take the opportunity to ask a couple more questions -- are the discovered planets being discovered in our own galaxy? Would elliptical galaxies contain planets? :? Hi Startrak, Yes, all of the over 200 exo-planets discovered so far are all inside the Milky Way Galaxy. More than that, ...

Hi All,

I'm merging this topic into the "I think I've found a track. What do you think?" thread.

Thanks John!

That is a huge help. I'm at a conference in Austin this week, but I will make sure Will and Robert get your analysis today at our usual team meeting.

Hi - Happy New Year to All :D I've not experienced any problems with "Answered Correctly" scores but I am having a problem with "Sensitivity" scores. As far as I was aware, the scores for both advanced together but at the moment, at least 3 "Sensitivity" scores per hou...

Hi Marc, Let me know what you are thinking of pursuing. I am willing to help out in any way I can (which could include helping you with text for a proposal to a local business, or just some info for the school's principle). We also have a Stardust@home PPT on the website that you could use, plus lin...

First of all I'd also like to thank Bryan for taking the time to reply to my question of a while ago regarding space dust particles. My question now -- I've seen "Phase 3" mentioned a couple of times in the Forum and am curious as to what Phase 3 involves. Hi startrak, Phase 3 will be the...

The December Solstice occurs 22 Dec 2007 at 6:08 AM Universal Time (which is 10:08 PM on Dec 21st in the Pacific Time Zone, and hence why I'm writing this message today). For us in the Northern Hemisphere the days will start getting longer again (for the next six months at least). Wohoo! Sorry for t...

Thank you so far for your reports. They will definitely be helpful in determining what is causing this change in behavior. Please keep them coming. One other piece of information that may be helpful for us as well would be your operating system and its version. Cache settings are difficult to find i...
