If you’re jonesing for some spacey stuff and maybe some critical thinking too, then check out these three links:
1) Starts with a Bang has a diary of the Ares I-X launch a couple of weeks ago.
2) The 127th Carnival of Space is lying in wait at Next Big Future.
3) The 123rd Skeptics Circle is at Blue Genes Science News, where things have become decidedly Galilean.
So go waste your Thursday afternoon learning stuff.
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
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 has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

Why, Skeptic North has many nods at the Skeptic’s Circle! I wonder how that happened!

Hey. Ethan gets the testfirings wrong.
Go read AstroProf. He was there.
Ethan’s doing some great stuff on Dark Matter and Energy, though.
