Now on ScienceBlogs: And so, driven on ceaselessly toward new shores
Speculations on astronomy, astrophysics, news I find interesting, theoretical issues, science and science policy. I will digress into computational physics, science fiction and general issues and basically whatever I feel like whenever. And, of course, cats.
Still working on an analytic exact approximate solution to the herding problem.
So you want to be an astrophysicist?

A long time ago, a massive star about 10,000 light years from Earth went kaboom.
329 years ago, we think, in 1680, the light from the supernova explosion reached Earth and was recorded as a new star by the Flamsteed, then the Astronomer Royal, looking relatively dim as nearby supernove go, due to the layers of dust in the galaxy between us and the site of the explosion.
Now, digging into archival x-ray data, a couple of astronomers may finally have figured out what is going on in Cass A.

Whee!
Cassini does a bit more zipping about the Saturn system.
Pretty pictures and conceptions abound.

Isis, our very own laboratory goddess, apparently knows the secret to hot and sexy science blogging.
We investigate.
