Astrosphere for June 8, 2007

2007-0608mars.thumbnail-2.jpg

Welcome back to the astrosphere, where I acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, there are other space blogs that you could be reading.

First, I'd like to mention that I've got a doppelganger. Some guy named Fraser Cain is over at

Wired Science Blogs

reporting

on their space news. Okay, it's me. Where do I find the time? I've learned to blog in my sleep.

Okay, now on to the actual space blog sphere.

I'd like to draw your attention to Chris Lintott. Those in the UK will know who he is, but for those of outside of the Isles, he's a renowned astrophysicist and co-presenter on the BBC's Sky at Night. He and collaborator Harriet Scott have started up a new podcast called

Living Space

. It's good listening, pretty slick stuff.

Pamela Gay

is blogging about the second episode of

The Universe

from The History Channel. This time, she's talking about

The Red Planet

.

Centauri Dreams

has

an interesting look

at a precursor mission planned by ESA to deflect an asteroid.

Space Law Probe

has discovered that a cool career for the 21st century might be

a space law lawyer

.
