What’s Up – 365 Days of Skywatching… the Blog
Tammy Plotner’s What’s Up articles and book have been so successful, I’ve decided to spin the column off as a separate blog, broken down into daily entries. This lets us have one entry for each day of the year, with a few photographs… every day. Tammy will also be posting additional entries for late breaking news, aurora sightings, sunspot activity. I’ll still be highlighting the articles, but I’ll be forwarding readers over to the blog from here on out. Each blog posting will also link to a special section of the Bad Astronomy/Universe Today forum, so you can chat with other astronomers about how your stargazing is going.
