One Astronomer's Noise

Okay, a slew of updates since I’ve been busy!

Last week, the very awesome Nancy Atkinson wrote up the Carnival of Space #138 over on her new blog. Check out news about Mars, Kepler’s findings, and more!

I’ve posted a draft of the Twitter poster I had at the AAS Meeting at the beginning of January. It includes some quotes from the survey I put out the week before, though I haven’t compiled all the numbers yet!

For some crazy reason that I’m not even fully aware of, I’ve started a Tumblr. It’ll probably be a dropping off place for random links and photos and things, whereas any actual writing I manage will stay here. Oh, it’ll probably feature some of my real-life potty mouth, which I keep tame here.

And finally, I’m going to Florida! George, Aleya, Aleya’s bro, and I are road-tripping down to Kennedy Space Center for the launch of the Solar Dynamics Observatory! We’ll be tweeting and blogging and posting pictures the whole way. Oh, and we’re also going to get to see the launch of STS-130 … my first ever launch, and possibly the last shuttle night launch! Follow the SDO tweetup events with the #SDOisGO hashtag, and I’ll be posting here as well. UPDATED AGAIN: My photos will be uploaded to my new Flickr set.

Boom, baby. STS-128 by cma3.

*NERDSQUEE!!*
