There’s more fun stuff on STS-130, SDO (of course), those cute little CubeSats and CubeLabs, and that’s just around the Earth! There are galaxies and moons and gravity and more in a really great carnival this week.
So, were any of you on Twitter when I was asking specifics about goat noises? Why was I asking that?

I would love to learn more about seti and space research. I used to give up my unused computer time to seti years ago and then forgot what data my machine was crunching…
I’ll check back on your blog to read more of your public friendly space-science journey.
cheers.
