The get-together to follow the comet impact went very well. We got a big screen where we project, at will, the NASA TV (relayed throw ESA TV) or the screen of a Internet connected PC.

Although very early in the morning (he session started at 06:30, with the climax about 07:00), we had a very friendly and enthusiastic audience, so most of the time the commentators where not on central stage, but mangling with the people ( sometimes forming small groups around one of the large number of portables computers in the room).

As far as I understand all national TV channels, except SIC (channel 3) where there and we had a direct at 07:00 on channel 1 news service (I have been told). Several newspapers were also present.

A friend of mine has digitally recorded – and sent to me - a TVI news flash, broadcasted at lunchtime and I captured a frame seen above.
