NASA let’s the Women Drive
In case you haven't heard it from Phil enough times, Emily Lakdawalla is one of the coolest bloggers out there. Her blog touches on all things planetary and when some thing is not quit right or clear with an image, Emily will download the raw mission images and put...
Carnival of Space
I'm a day late, but hopefully not a dollar short (but does it matter - the internet offers free rides most of the time 😉 ) This week's Oscar themed Space Carnival is over on Starts with a Bang. Go read and enjoy!
Star Formation in the Center of the Galaxy
I saw a really cool paper (to me) on the pre-print server today. Astronomers Kuzic et al. have made detailed measurements of two groups objects in the center of the galaxy within half a parsec of the center of the Milky Way. These objects, named IRS 13E and IRS 13N...

More politically inspired songs
This is not a discussion of politics. This is a discussion of the music and music videos inspired by politicians. Just saw this in YouTube. If you know of any other songs (we are sticking to the musical genre only!) about people actively running for president, forward...
Carnival of Space (with a British accent)
This week's carnival jumps across the "pond" to Chris Lintott's self named blog. Check it out.
Lunar Eclipse Photos
I have to admit it: It was blisteringly cold and there were intermittent clouds and I missed the lunar eclipse. But, I still got to see it thanks to John S Gianforte of Blue Sky Observatory. He caught the images above (click for larger versions) using a Meade 127ED...
