I have scanned the article but I can't shrink it enough to be uploaded into the gallery. It is about 180KB.

Can the mods help?

River, if you want, give me your email and I will email it to you.

I am not sure if the reporter got some of the facts correct but since interest in the article will naturally be high, I have increased the upload limit to 200kb. Kay Heem, can you try again? thanks.

Hi all,
Please check with the admin first before attaching any scanned images of ST articles in case of copyright infringement.

Yes, I was amazed they devoted so much space to Pluto..shows how important it really is! As usual, apart from Singastro, they did the obligatory interview with TASOS but glad to see singastro finally get mentioned in the main papers. Woei Jiin event gets interviewed! Now she is a celebrity like weixing liao...

Thanks to Remus for grabbing the opportunity...hopefully now those who are interested in astronomy but do not know where to look can take a peep in here..heh heh

Hi,
Image file is limited to 65KB. May be you can just zipped it and attach as an attachment document.

Have a nice day.

I laugh when I read the 2nd paragraph "... and there are many other beautiful bodies you can see from Singapore...."

I think they meant "celestial bodies" :lol: :lol: :lol:
