Astrosphere for September 18th, 2007

Well, I'm officially jealous. Space blogger Keith Cowing recently

got a chance

to fly on the

Zero Gravity Corporation's G Force One

and experience weightlessness. Tell me that doesn't look like fun.

My good friends over at Earth & Sky are going to be launching a Spanish-language version of their popular astronomy podcast, funded by the National Science Foundation. They're planning to produce 600 one-minute science radio spots in Spanish over the next three years. It's going to be called Cielo y Tierra, which, uh, makes sense.

A big thanks to the History Channel, and its show, "

The Universe

". They sponsored Universe Today and Astronomy Cast over the summer. The last episode has aired, so they're moving on. Hey, that means there's a sponsorship opportunity available in

Astronomy Cast

. If you're interested in sponsoring Astronomy Cast, we now get about 180,000 shows downloaded every month.
