Because we live in “the future” and it is pretty cool, I’m blogging from a plane at 32,000 feet on my way to Tucson, Arizona, for the meeting of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones while talking about astronomy, space science, and education. You…

Feast your Eyes on the Universe
I’m in the last day of a meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico and will be heading back to my new home in Illinois tonight. Sadly, that means I’ll miss the annular eclipse that is about to happen, but I’ll be sure to make plans for the 2017 total eclipse that will be visible across…

Thus begins the story of this week’s adventure on Discovery Space. We dubbed our road trip “Cape Nerd Girls” after my brother posted a Facebook comment asking where in…

Thrust or Bust!!!! STS-133…
SQUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Okay, yeah I’m excited. I was idly wondering on Twitter whether I should take advantage of the fact that I had a free weekend that coincided with the next launch attempt of the space shuttle. Lo and behold, the fabulous @JahdavusRex mentioned he had 4 launch viewing tickets that he couldn’t use. One thing…

I'm happy to talk about the universe with anyone who will listen, and I am skeptically curious about all things.Also blogging at…
