*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

In September, a team of astronomers announced it had detected the chemical phosphine in the thick, acidic clouds of Venus, which surprised many experts of the planet. Phosphene is found in Earth's atmosphere, leading some to wonder if those Venusian clouds could harbor life. But a new study shows that the radio telescopes used in the initial research may have detected sulfur dioxide. One of the new study's co-authors is Paul Steffes, Professor Emeritus in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a member of Georgia Techs' Center for Space Technology and Research (C-STAR.)
