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.
Order a copy of Death from the Skies! from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Borders.
"If things worked the way I wanted them to, any reporter about to do another 'sensational' story on deadly meteors would consult this volume, and
bang! common sense would find its way into the news. How strange would
that world be?"
-- Adam Savage,
Mythbusters
"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."
-- Daniel H. Wilson, author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising

Ah, I was skeptic enough to check that link before I clicked it! Muahahaha! Still, I clicked it after I checked anyway.

On second thought, I’ll do it when I get home so I don’t waste any more time at work.

Hmmm…while I find the idea admirable and fascinating, the website needs a little work.

aha - at first I thought the .com was the only thing left off - possibly to confuse spiders and spamalots. After a little investigation.. well.. we’ll let others discover what else you did.
