This is off-topic, but I found this amusing regarding the Palomar telescope when it was built. It’s an article from Mechanix Illustrated in March, 1948. How far we’ve come! It’s The Biggest, It’s The Newest…But Palomar Telescope Won’t See Far Enough!

Thanks for the link to Facto Diem. I’ve read a bunch of the back posts and this looks like a great site for my “read daily” folder. The posts are reasonably short so they can be read quickly, but provide interesting information about a wide range of topics.

Thanks for posting this, Sean. I’ve had some really interesting new visitors and comments all day.
And yes, I went the route of catchy rather than grammatically correct Latin for the title. Had I gone to Catholic school I’m sure I wouldn’t be so cavalier!

Re SPP#27, It seems like the life sciences dominate the science-related part of the blogosphere somewhat. The majority of submitted articles to the carnival I hosted were on biology or medicine, and I had trouble finding good articles representing other scientific disciplines in the short time I had. I suspect this has also been a problem for past hosts, and will be for future ones, so please do help out by submitting articles!
