Comments on: The Blog of the Planets http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2005/09/08/the-blog-of-the-planets/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Otherwise superb and to be added to my Blogroll. I should add that <a href="http://www.strudel.org.uk/blog/astro/" rel="nofollow">Stuart</a> has been live weblogging from DPS2005 as well, with some nice posts on Mars, <a href="http://www.strudel.org.uk/blog/astro/000337.shtml" rel="nofollow">Saturn</a>, <a href="http://www.strudel.org.uk/blog/astro/000322.shtml" rel="nofollow">Titan</a>and so on.

She explained a lot more of what was going on than we were getting on the NASA feed, and it made it interesting to know what was happening behind the scenes, people's comments, etc. She appears to have good connections, and is an excellent writer; on that evening her blog was very readable and she was updating her entries in rapid fire succession. Sometime after that I emailed her to commend her excellent reporting and she replied with a note of thanks. I love it when people reply, so that just added to my positive impression of her. She seems very personable, as well. I'm not a male, so I'll leave the "she's cute, too" part out, but hey, maybe she's single and waiting for that stellar guy to appear... ;-) I discovered her blog during the Deep Impact mission and kept insisting in that thread on the BABB that everyone read her blog, because she was there at JPL typing fast and furiously, and she just had so much information.
