Silver Rockets

It's a rocket, by bashoo @ deviantART

This awesome image is from deviantART — it encapsulates what I’m hoping to do with my new (ma)gnolia group, Silver Rockets:

Celebrating the awe and inspiration surrounding space exploration, human spaceflight and the great beyond. Science and art, fiction and non-fiction, poetry and latest news — welcoming both the dreams and realities of space. Come one, come all!

(Sounds similar to what I do here, I know — this is a way for me to add more links, things not so easily blogged, and hopefully more often than once a day, though I can’t promise that.)

Anyway, my links should be varied and interesting (I hope!), so if you’re a new ma.gnolia user, or an old one that has JUST NOW learned of the relaunch (go sign up!!), please join the group! (You’ll be glad you did!) And if you’ve NEVER heard of (ma)gnolia, it is a social linking tool — somewhat like Delicious — except infinitely more streamlined, sophisticated and elegant.

Cosmic Diary

Cosmic Diary

Cosmic Diary is part of the International Year of Astronomy; astronomers from all over the globe are talking about their jobs, their thoughts, and trying to share the day-to-day life of astronomy, as well as the science. I read a lovely article there yesterday on astronomy and journalism by Brother Guy Consolmagno, the American-born curator of meteorites at the Vatican Observatory. Definitely give the site a read; there’s astronomers aplenty reaching out to the public!
