#1 PrimeGrid Conjunction of Venus & Jupiter Challenge starts in 8 hours!

Post by Newshound »


In about 8 hours, at 5:43:00 UTC January 7th, we kick off our 2019 challenge series with a 15 day SoB (Seventeen or Bust) challenge.

As with last year, the goal of this challenge is to accelerate the SoB double check. With a good challenge this year, we may be able to complete the double check in 2019!

More information and discussion about the challenge can be found in this forum thread.
