Astrosphere for September 21st, 2007

2007-0920eclipse.thumbnail-2.jpg

Hi there, happy equinox tomorrow. Today's astrophoto was captured by ShevillWMathers. It's an image of the recent total lunar eclipse - which was clouded out for me. :-(

First, I'd like to note that the

21st Carnival of Space

has gone live over at its original home, Henry Cate's blog. Henry founded the Carnival of Space, and we're all grateful for his efforts to keep this organized. Thanks Henry! Speaking of organized, I wasn't organized enough to get a contribution in.

Astronomy Magazine has a blog. And in this blog, they cover some recent comments by NASA Administrator Mike Griffin about how the US will probably lose

the race to return to the Moon

. I'm going to daydream about Canadian gumboots making the first steps, but I suspect that's just wishful thinking.

Frontier Channel reviews the

Bionic Woman TV show

.

Angela Gunn saw "In the Shadow of the Moon", and here's what she thought. New Scientists

has a review too

.

Dr. Pamela Gay covers research about

echoes of radiation from quasars

being used to study the centres of distant galaxies.

Space Law Probe discusses the latest in getting

electricity from space

.

One final note, did anyone catch

Seeing in the Dark

on PBS? I've got it sitting on my PVR.

Let me know

what you thought.
