I'm having a crazy week and shouldn't even be thinking about blogging. But here are two cool things courtesy of other bloggers. Astropixie has a great
quote from the late Carl Sagan in honor of his birthday on November 9 (he would have been 75). Carl Sagan was one of my favorite people, and while I hesitate to put myself in any category with him, his ability to make science accessible to everyone certainly inspired me in my attempts to do educational outreach using space and astronomy themes.
And here's another space-related post from The Big Picture -
Mars from MRO. Incredible images. Carl liked to talk about how Mars and the other planets are
places, and I'm sure he would be pleased with how intimately we've gotten to know the place called Mars over the last few years, thanks to the Mars Rovers, MRO, and other robotic explorers. Thanks to
Bad Astronomy for the tip.
