I was taking a break the other day and following some fun Twitter links to a story about Eddie Izzard’s marathon of marathons, which is a really cool and inspiring story.

Hey all, it’s been a while again. I’ve been sloooowly getting things done at work. As Swoopy aptly puts in the latest Skepticality (106), When I get to talk to scientists, often they are in the lab and they are taking a break from research. What are they doing? They are running samples, they are [...]

But here are some astronomy-related happenings that have caught my attention. Carnival of Space #86 is up and running at collectSPACE. If your head still hasn’t exploded from all [...]
