AAS Meeting in St. Louis, June 1-5

It’s going be another busy week of space news. That’s because thousands of professional astronomers have descended into St. Louis for the 212th meeting of the American Astronomical Society. We’re trying to outdo our previous effort with full coverage of the meeting. Phil Plait, Pamela Gay, Chris Lintott are at the conference, as well as Universe Today’s Nancy Atkinson. I wasn’t able to go this time around, but I’ll be helping out from afar.

I’ll warn you right now, there’s going to be an enormous amount of news. I’ve seen some of the embargoed press releases (shhhh, don’t tell anyone), and there are going to be some really interesting discoveries getting announced.

Stay tuned for our coverage on Universe Today, but if you really want the full coverage from everyone, check out Astronomy Cast LIVE.
