Carnival of Space #124

The 124th Carnival of Space is up and breathing at the blog We’re All In The Gutter. They’ve collected this week’s best astronomy and space blog posts and put them in one spot for your easy perusal. The blog itself is done by a collection of young astronomy researchers, and is pretty good! Looks like I have another entry to drop into my RSS feed reader.

    Who said that again?

    Aside from ‘astroquoter’ of course, I mean I have heard that before as a quote from somebody. Oscar Wilde maybe?

    PS. Wow I can comment from home again? YAY! :-)

      "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."
      -- Daniel H. Wilson, author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising
