Another new Carnival of Space, this time with Dear Astronomer, a.k.a. Ray Sanders. You may have noticed Ray has penned a few articles for Universe Today lately (see here, here and here, for example!) and we look forward to more great articles from Ray. But in the meantime, check out Carnival of Space #210, and browse around the Dear Astronomer site, where you can ask questions about astronomy and science and find news and astronomy-related product reviews.
And if you’re interested in looking back at previous Carnivals, here’s an archive to all the past Carnivals of Space. If you’ve got a space-related blog, you should really join the Carnival. Just email an entry to carnivalofspace@gmail.com, and the next host will link to it. It will help get awareness out there about your writing, help you meet others in the space community – and community is what blogging is all about. And if you really want to help out, sign up to be a host. Send an email to the above address.
