There is already a thread elsewhere in the forum on this ScienceDaily article. The consensus is that the article is ENTIRELY made up, at least in terms of the original paper. That is, the claims made in the article are nowhere even mentioned in the original paper so where they came from (and the extreme granularity # seems totally bogus) no one knows (well the Science Daily article is just a copy of one in the European Space Agency's site but that just pushed the problem back the them)
