Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011

“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.” -Edgar Allan Poe Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we've learned for a certainty that the black abyss of empty space isn't really so empty.

If you're going to see just one meteor shower a year, make it this one. Image credit: Tom King. Some years, there's a bright Moon in the night sky to contend with, like there was…
