Now, I’d like to draw your attention to the 28th Carnival of Space, hosted this week by the Planetary Society’s Emily Lakdawalla.
We’re organizing the next episode of the Carnival of Space, so drop us an entry at carnivalofspace@gmail.com. And we’re always looking for new hosts to handle future carnivals.
I want to give you a last minute reminder to watch PBS Nova tonight for Judgment Day, Intelligent Design on Trial. You’ll need to check your local listings for time and channel; if you miss it tonight, I’m sure it’ll be on several times over the week. You can also watch the entire episode online at the PBS site.
