As I’ve posted before, I recently lost over 40 pounds, going from 225 to 180 (ish), which is about the right weight for my height (6 feet) and age (44). I lost those pounds following John Walker’s Hacker’s Diet. The approach he uses involves lots of easy to understand common sense, but the […]
So I’m reading my emails from SkyTonight that are sent to me every Friday and I see an article on this REALLY COOL backyard observatory.
For about $1,550 plus shipping, I can get this enclosure that will not only protect my equipment and let me leave it set up all the time, but it’ll really make […]
When I started making my own astronomy videos, one of the first things I did was see who else was out there doing something similar. At the time, there weren’t all that many, now it seems, more people are starting to make multimedia presentations on astronomy topics.
I have an extensive background in planetarium show […]
I found out about this when he initially posted, but only just now got around to writing about it.

The Bad Astronomer has just launched a really cool new community website called AstronomyBuzz. Designed as a new community for astronomy enthusiasts, it offers members a way to publish, share and embed content related to astronomy.

Don’t forget to let me know if you have something astronomy-related you’d like to let […]
I’m in a scifi mood these days, having just come back from StarFest in Denver last weekend and, as if he was reading my mood, a reader pointed me to this article on the possibility of warp drive.
Of course, it doesn’t come as any surprise that we don’t have this capability now, nor are we […]
Last weekend, I attended StarFest, the annual scifi convention held in Denver and learned about a movie coming out this summer called Sunshine. When I heard the premise of the film, I almost went supernova myself. Here’s what the film’s about. Someone, ANYONE, tell me what’s wrong with this picture:

I’ve decided to start a new category designed to help my readers get the word out about things that interest them in astronomy. I realize this blog isn’t the most widely read astronomy blog, but at least I’m relatively accessible and am very interesting providing my readers with a blog they can use.
So, with […]
I had no idea until I received this press release email that we are in the midst of National Dark Sky Week. According to the email, it is taking place this week and next, from April 17th - 24th.
The idea is to increase awareness of the problem of light pollution and encourage the […]
