Carnival of Space #85

Cheap Astronomy is hosting the 85th Carnival of Space, just in time to goof off on a weekend. Remember, it’s the International Year of Astronomy now, so you have to read an astronomy article every day. It’s in the intertoobs bylaws.

And somehow I forgot to post about last week’s carnival at Next Big Future. So that’s double your astrogoodness for the week!

Not only can you read an astronomy article every day, but now you can get a daily dose of astronomy podcasting by subscribing to the 365 Days of Astronomy podcast series.
Perhaps some of you BA Blogees will record something…
There are lots of days still available in the year.

"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?"

"Reading this book is like getting punched in the face by Carl Sagan. Frightening, but oddly exhilarating."
