I was looking at Flickr images on the internets and I came upon this photograph that somebody took of a sign at a store that sells telescopes.
Oh, how many times have I felt the sting of pain brought on by my telescope kicking me in the dark of night. Yea, […]
Today is b5Media’s Science and Heath Channel Theme Day and this week we decided to go with a top x holiday list.
I’m picking (on) the star of Bethlehem. Every year ’round this time, we astronomy buffs get questions about the star of Bethlehem. I blame the planetaria. They insist on putting on […]
Today, the following things happened:
The universe got a little bit bigger, and it did it faster than it did yesterday.
The Andromeda Galaxy got a little closer to us.
The Sun rose in the East this morning, and then set in the West later in the day.
Oh, and radio astronomers found a hole in the universe.
Some days […]
Was that a Thursday? I tend to get a lot more done on Thursdays myself.

Oooh, a graph! There’s nothing like a graph to get your science juices flowing.
Most people enjoy being in the middle of the bell curve. Indeed, they expend an enormous amount of energy to make sure they are as smack-dab in the middle as they can get.

People who’ve read this blog for a while, and especially those that have to live with me, have learned that I can be infuriatingly contrary.
If everyone is doing a thing, I feel compelled to do something else (writing a blog notwithstanding, of course).
So, while everyone is giving out Milky Ways, Skittles, Sprees and Kit Kat […]
This post will be of particular interest to all of the werewolves out there because, let’s face it, the Moon makes their lives somewhat inconvenient. It must be very hard to have to always clear your calendar on that one day in the month the Moon is full. Blue Moons are particularly irritating, […]
Hey gang! Who can tell me what amazing thing didn’t happen 50 years ago today?
Anyone?
Yes, you there. The man in the back with the yellow shirt that reads “Get Bent”, any ideas?
No?
OK, I’ll tell you. Today marks the 50th anniversary of the day that Eurasia (formerly the Soviet Union) didn’t launch the […]
I’ll give you the answer up front: an infinite number of them.
The chances are 100% that ONE of an infinite number of monkeys will write the Bible, along with another monkey that will write My Pet Goat, another penning The Origin of Species and yet another scrawling Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Also, how […]
