Comments on: GLASTing impressions http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/06/19/glasting-impressions/ 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.

Can't wait for some good gamma ray data to pile up now. I wonder how high up the gamma ray part of the spectrum it can detect? Woot! Can’t wait for some good gamma ray data to pile up now.

You mean more like 2028? Or did I read that wrong and you meant LOFAR comes online in 2008? SKA in 2008???? You mean more like 2028?

My previous post lost track of a few orders of magnitude. You were talking about 1.02 MEV, not GEV. The GLAST homepage at Glast.Stanford.edu says that the range for GLAST begins at about 10 MEV.

I read this one for general science news (the kind that may -or may not- be picked up by major news organizations), another one for local/regional/national political news, and one more for interesting developments in energy saving techniques, renewable energy developments, new battery tech, etc. And those 3 are the only ones I read on a regular basis. If I tried to read more I'd spend all day long reading blogs! :D, not that that wouldn't be fun.
