Hey Hey 2009

2008 was a rotten year for a lot of people, I know, but I'll always have a soft spot for it, because it marked the beginning of the SteelyKid Era. There was plenty that sucked about 2008, but not nearly enough to outweigh that.

(There will be Baby Blogging later today, but the Empress of Eastern New York would not deign to pose this morning, so you'll have to wait a bit for a cute photo.)

2009 has been dubbed the International Year of Astronomy. Well, it's probably been dubbed the International Year of a lot of things, but the relevant one for ScienceBlogs is Astronomy. It comes a little too late to save the year like Apollo did, but since we're talking about a field that routinely puts error margins in the exponent, we can cut them some slack. Try to make time to look through a telescope at least once this year.

Best wishes to all, and may everybody in your light cone have a better 2009.
