Sky & Telescope featured and article on the discovery of the new star. Bonnard Teegarden, an astrophysicist at Goddard led the collaboration of scientists search of looking for white dwarf stars that move rapidly across the sky when the faint star was noticed.

The video covering National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and NASA testing of vans and SUV in the Goddard centrifuge received excellent play on local broadcast stations across the country. The video footage was shown on 61 different stations. Both NBC and ABC fed short stories to their affiliates. Many of the stationed segued from yesterday's rollover safety release from the insurance industry. In Charlotte, they segued to a NASCAR story.

The coverage is noteworthy considering the testing was completed last winter and the press release was issued back in April. The video release was delayed due to the flood in the basement of building 8. Amazingly, Fred Kemmen was able to pull the video file despite the flood situation.

There will be weekend coverage onHeart TV and CNN. The Discovery Science Channel plans on doing a centrifuge segment for their technology show.

The video file was co-produced by Mike McClare and Michael Starobin.
