Timezone

Since the hackers are so diligent with their hours(!), couldn't the timing of the activities give a clue to the timezone? If they're starting at 7am India time, it's unlikely to be in China, and more likely to be in a timezone to the west of them..

So, it's very cool that this one is the coldest white dwarf found - and a diamond inside to boot! - but it isn't quite "the coldest stellar object ever detected"..

Cool

Let's toast to that!
