About Bad Astronomy
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's written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic and fights the abuse of science, but his true love is praising the wonders of real science.
The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking, movie reviews, and all that) can be found here.

It’s a very good Polish. What’s diluted or Czech about it? I guess that if you wrote that ebonics were suntanned banana U.S. English, your comrades would find it politically incorrect. But if Polish is a diluted Czech, it’s OK, isn’t it?
