This year has been really hectic and busy. I am having a great time teaching astronomy for the first time, but,... the first time with any course means a lot of preparation.
Here are some new things in the news. I have been pleased to see so much news about not just New Horizons, but Mars, comets, exo-planets, black holes and other objects out there.
And while we're at it - take a look at the southern sky in the morning, looking east. You'll see a wonderful alignment of Venus, Jupiter and Mars, in order of brightness. You can't miss them. Here's a link.
Next up: New Horizons published first Pluto paper
Exoplanets! How do you spot an Exo-planet from Earth?
Your moment of Zen: Wonderful video from the ISS of water in space
I have to find some time to go see The Martian...
