Science journalist
Will Gater
has updated his website with a brand new blog and an RSS feed.
His latest post
, about the density of Mercury is pretty great too.
And while I'm mentioning new blogs, check out
Starts With a Bang!
by astrophysicist Ethan Seigel. I had a chance to meet Ethan at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin and he's a great guy - and his blog is awesome.
Here's a sample post
about the difference between centripetal and centrifugal force.
Becky spots a weather balloon floating over New Mexico. It's easy to see how someone might think that's a UFO.
APOD has a
great photograph
of the Sun. What is this Sun thing they're talking about? We've still got clouds and more clouds here in Vancouver.
Keith Cowing at NASA Watch wonders who whines for Mars.
And finally, Astroprof looks at the
Moon's southern pole
. A nice place to visit?
