Sorry about the lack of blogging yesterday me droogs. I am now in Austin with Pamela and Fraser at the American Astronomical Society meeting, and things’ll be getting started here in a few minutes… we’re hitting the ground running with a press conference on Hubble, and I’ll have something up about it soon.
Everything Pamela, Fraser, and I write will be mirrored at the Astronomy Cast site, so you can go there for one-stop shopping if you like.
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.

Oh, great…I get permanently banned from BAUT, the adminstration is out of town, so there’s no one to “argue for my re-instatement” to…
Phil, would you please do me a favor? When you receive my email could you please look into it as soon as possible?
Thanks…

You can’t lie to us Phil. We all know why you’re really in Texas… You were sent there to un-doom it.

droogs?
Getting sharpened up for a bit of the old ultraviolence? I never thought of astronomers as such a rowdy lot.

Verily, my friend, you are in-vi-ted to a genuine or-gy! of visual and telescopic fun that has never been had since old Ludwig himself!

See, Phil, I’m as big a nerd as you are.
And I remember the VERY FIRST DOCTOR!

Droogs? Bolshy reference, ded. Gotta filly the meloda lewdies, else they’ll go shvat the ol’ nozh, an’ who wants to sobirat the krovvy, eh?
Unless you’re referencing the russian word.
I loved that book, (with real ending, originally taken out of the american version-and then movie- for no reason), but Enderby was probably his best work.
