Or at least I think it will be, I just ordered one so it better be a good one.
Based on last month’s Sky and Telescope review of the DMK 21AF04.AS…
Ok, let me pause a minute and offer that these guys please hire a marketing person to name their products. How the hell am I […]
I know I’m a little early, but Mars is approaching opposition and will give us some of the best views of the planet we’re going to see for a while, and I want you guys ready.

Oh. I though the reason we couldn’t do superstring physics was […]
My students and I have really been enjoying Sean’s Cosmology Course. Today’s lecture tied in the idea of a smooth, expanding universe with general relativity.
This lecture has been my favorite so far, there were a few moments in there where I not only learned some new things, but that sometimes I’ve been trying to […]
