May 10, 2008
If the standard box of chocolates won't do it for your space mom, a Japanese company has something for those with a bit more worldly perspective. (Thanks Astroblogger!)

Irene,
I wasn't sure of the best way to try to contact you, but I thought I'd let you know of an error in your article here: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/05/12/lunar-moon-probe-02.html
It says -300 C...thats below absolute zero. After a little bit of research, I think what may have happened is you saw the spec sheet that says it can measure to 30 K and did the conversion wrong. It should then be -243 C (-405 F), not -303 C (-508 F).
Have a great day!

Yup, you're absolutely right. Got some bad info and the number did indeed drop below absolute zero. Glad the IQ of our readers is significantly higher.
