Universe Today
Here's what I found, buzzing around the astrosphere today.
A Babe in the Universe
had a
great blog post about the Griffith Observatory
, in Los Angeles. And then last night, the observatory nearly caught fire as part of the Griffith Park fire. My wife's Gilmore Girls episode was replaced with 60 minutes of helicopter footage of a raging fire about to consume a historic observatory. Mt. Stromlo all over again. Fortunately, the observatory seems safe.
The Daily Galaxy
has
an excellent piece
on the "Hawking Solution". Leave the Earth to save humanity?
My
Astronomy Cast
cohost, Dr. Pamela Gay ponders on her
Star Stryder
blog what
life might be like on Gliese 581c
(that recently discovered, most-Earthlike planet)
My favourite news show is called
the Hour
, and it's all Canadian. They had a great
interview with Richard Dawkins
. Unfortunately, the official video clip is an obnoxious WMV file, but there's a YouTube version over at
Cosmic Afterthoughts
.
