Well folks, get ready. This will change how you look at the universe from here on…
In my latest video blog entry, I’m announcing a monumental discovery, one that changes everything. I have uncovered evidence that the universe has been designed. I even disclose who it was.
Sorry Phil, but there’ll be no debunking […]
I know I rail against NASA on this blog probably a little more than is fair, but this time, I have to hand it to ‘em.
In 2006, the Kepler team asked for, and received, a 21% budget increase. They also said they needed more time, an additional five months, in order to get the […]
In a little over a year, on July 31st, 2008, the European Space Agency will launch Planck, a mission “designed to image the anisotropies of the Cosmic Background Radiation Field over the whole sky, with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution.”
This mission will improve upon the WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe) data set, which mapped the […]
This gave me a laugh:

Oh well, it’s not like spelling is rocket science or anything. Remember kids: stay in school.

Lots of people are reporting today that the Great Canary Telescope (GCT), the world’s largest optical telescope, begins taking data today.
This telescope has a 10.4 meter (34.12 feet) diameter segmented mirror. While that by itself is pretty cool, the best part is that each segment can be rapidly moved via tiny actuators controlled by […]
This month’s SciHealth Theme is about going green and the environment.
As a stargazer, a very important environmental issue to me is light pollution. For many of us the night sky is all but gone, only the brightest stars are visible from our homes and the Milky Way is all but extinct.
Going out in […]

Once upon a time, astronomy was done by some lone astronomer, sitting at an eyepiece or at a light table in front of hundreds of photographic plates looking for patterns, movement, or classifying and cataloguing things.
Usually, one person (or an astronomer employing dozens of women at 25 cents per hour) would sift through the enormous […]
I just found out that there is an effort to digitize over 500,000 astronomical image plates spanning over 100 years.
“Besides being 25 percent of the world’s total of astronomical photographic plates, this is the only collection that covers both hemispheres,” said Alison Doane, curator of a glass database occupying three floors, two of them subterranean, […]
Here’s a cool video about calculus. Like someone said in one of the comments:
It’s like learning only fun.
I love promoting stuff like this, these kids put a lot of effort into it and it shows.
“No no drama, no no no drama…” Sorry, the tune’s kinda catchy.
Here’s one more video asking the timeless question, […]
Astronomers are an emotional lot.
I don’t know if it’s because we spend all that time alone in the dark with our telescopes or what, but I’ve noticed that we can get a bit dramatic.
This tendency isn’t just limited to professional astronomers, amateurs are that way too. Go to any star party and you’ll start […]
