Live video chat here!

I never know if repeating these posts helps or not. Oh well. I’m doing it anyway.

I’m doing another live video chat starting at 15:00 Mountain Time (21:00 UT) on Sunday June 15. I’ve embedded the stream below; if you see glare off my bald(ing) head, then we’re live. I urge you to go to the UStream page, though, so you can participate in the chat room (or find/use an IRC client you like; the server is chat1.ustream.tv and the room is #bad-astronomy). If you want to change your nickname there, type "/nick Billie Piper" (or whatever) in the text field.

Some potential topics for the chat: Hubble servicing mission, GLAST, organic compounds in meteorites, TAM 6. A search on this blog will turn up lots of things on these and other subjects!

These chats are always an hour too late for me to catch over in this timezone

Well I won’t be there this or next week I am at work, I just hope everyone keeps their pants on (inside joke from last week).

Sorry I missed it, but when it’s 98 degrees F outside and somebody (anybody) calls and says “let’s go swimmin’” …

Enjoyed the chat as usual. Sorry I had to duck out early…sleepy time. What did I miss?

"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."
