Astrosphere for June 7, 2007
Time to head out into the astrosphere again.
First, I’d like to point your attention towards the very nicely done Carnival of Space #6, hosted by the Music of the Spheres. This themed carnival has a theme of its own, the International Space Development Conference, which recently wrapped up. I really enjoyed this edition, so check it out. (There’s an article from me in there, somewhere).
Space Prizes has some information on a new SEDS Space Art Contest.
The European Southern Observatory has redesigned its website, with a new tagline, “Astronomy Made in Europea”. The Apparent Brightness blog doesn’t think that’s exactly accurate.
Alan Boyle from MSNBC’s Cosmic Log rounds up Hubble’s greatest hits. You might be surprised at what made the list.
