Looks like I have a new template for my blog. I should point out that all I do for b5media is write and post, I really don’t have much to do with how things look, what ads appear on my site or anything like that.
They did ask me if I had any color preferences, […]
Earlier today, I wrote a post titled “The Best Argument for Intelligent Design”, where I intended to poke a little fun at the idea that we could all be living in a simulated universe, one where laws of physics and the limits of our ability to measure could be used as ‘proof’ that there is […]
Sometimes it’s hard to visualize things in science, particularly astronomy. The scales involved are so large, our brain just doesn’t do anything with the information. There’s just no real frame of reference for some of these concepts so they literally go over our heads.
We need to be able to visualize in some fashion […]
One reader posted a comment wondering about the possibility of requests for astronomy videos, particularly those that have been webcast but not necessarily served anywhere for viewing on demand.
Steve from AstroShorts.com responds:
In regards to the comment below, please note that there is a place on our main page for people to contact us with their […]
I was going to start this post with, “Astute readers of this blog…”, but then I realized that was unnecessary because ALL of my readers are astute, so it was a bit redundant.

Readers of this blog may have noticed some oddities in my posting frequency (yes, that’s better), particularly, around the […]
I just found out about this from a posting in Solar News. This observatory is operated by the Astronomy Dept. of the Universidad de Sonora at Hermosillo, Mexico. Here’s a description from the Solar News announcement:
The “Carl Sagan” Solar Observatory began regular daily-basis operations this year with two apochromatic 16 cm telescopes with […]
There are some things we do in life that take us completely off guard. We do them - not necessarily thinking much about it at the time - and sometimes find out that the impact of those things is greater than we could have imagined.
In September 2006, I made this video during a slow […]
Regardless of how this blog may read, I consider myself relatively mentally healthy. I say relatively because as I look around me, I see I’m the only one not wearing underwear on my head (oh, wait a minute… How did that get there?). I’m also the only one in the room, but never […]
The big news out of NASA today is that the Chandra Observatory recorded the brightest supernova seen so far.
AstroProf has a really good post about it here. He points out out that by bright, we don’t mean the brightest in the sky (those are usually within our own galaxy), rather we mean that this […]
Now, before I get started, let me just say that I’m NOT one of those guys who sits in a movie theatre yelling, “Oh come on…” or “You gotta be kidding me!”.
I love science fiction and, to a lesser extent, the comic book stuff. I see all the movies and read a great […]
