One Astronomer's Noise

The Carnival of Space #143 is up at Next Big Future!

Get it? I love… 143? When I was in high school, before cell phones were popular, everyone (but me) had a beeper. We used silly little codes to each other… and 143 meant “I love you.” And my boyfriend’s name at the time was Eddie, which could be spelled out upside down, so I would send him “143 31003″ from our school’s payphone… yeah I’m a dork.

Anyway, that’s far less interesting than the cool stories about Mars avalanches, bad science movies, the sun, and more over at this week’s carnival!
