At the top of the article, it says "Date: 05 August 2012 Time: 12:31 AM ET", lower in the article it says "Aug. 5; 1:31 a.m. EDT" but both of those seem to be mistakes since those times have already passed and nasa.gov says "Aug 6, 2012 1:31 a.m. Eastern". Sorry if this is pedantic, but I think the time is pretty important here.

- redwood 14y agoWhat they meant was 10:30 PM pacific time on Aug. 05. For US East Coast and all areas east (Europe, Asia etc) this means Aug. 06. They posted the article early in the morning on Aug. 05 so they could have it up and relevant for a full 24 hours I guess!
