Update: The upgrade is finished, and I am now running the spiffy new version of WordPress. If you have any problems or see any weirdnesses, please leave a comment for this entry. If you don’t have any problems, then please don’t post! That’ll make it easier on me to fix things. Thanks! –The BA
I am upgrading the blog to the latest version of WordPress. This will take me a little while, so please bear with me. Sunday is typically a low-traffic day for the blog, which is why I’m doing it now.
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

Actually, I do see one error… the Mars Image post is posted twice, once on the 25th and once on the 26th. Don’t know if Firefox doesn’t like your changes, or if there really is some error somewhere.

Re your Sun night 3/26/06 Coast to Coast AM statement, hit it on the nail when you described how the sun light through the trees during an eclipse left “whamo” images of the suns “crescents” all over my flagstone patio! About 10 to 15 years ago, sun nearly directly overhead (resided in N.E. IL {Lincolnshire, IL{) Was in house when it darkened in mid PM, birds quieted, things became still and I opened door to my large flagstone patio under heavy oak tree coverage and nearly flipped out when I saw hundreds of perfect sunlight crescents all over the patio! Just the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I was so absorbed in the ‘fairland like scene”, I failed to take a photo which would have been just spectacular. Relived it when you spoke about the optics with George Noury. Thanks for the memory, wish you were there! With kind regards from the Heavens… Gus

BA, I see many duplicates of your posts when using the “previous entries” button.
Did you break the golden IT rule: “Don’t upgrade unless you have problems”? (If it aint broken, don’t fix it).

Thomas, Aerin- can you please send me an email or leave a comment telling me what OS and browser you use? I use Firefox on XP and only see one post, no matter what I try!
April 2nd, 2006 at 2:03 pm
I have tried Firefox, Opera and Explorer (*spits* on floor) all with the same result.
I have sent you an email with a few more details.

The duplicate entries have “No Comments” and if I submit one it says “Your comment is awaiting moderation”.

Nuts. I think I deleted your email.
Can you please resend it?
FWIW, I do not see mulitple copies, nor does my database give me any indication of them. Weird.
