Due to unsafe weather conditions around FDR and the roads leading to it, we have had to CANCEL the FDR Astronomy Night of Jan. 16, 2010. My apologies to anyone who planned to attend tonight, but given the weather, we doubt there would be much to see!

This week's Carnival of Space is up - with a special Valentine's Day arrangement.

Also, if you've heard news of a fireball over Texas, Bad Astronomy has an excellent summary of what's up with that.

Carnival of Space #65 is up at 21st Century Waves. Also, as is evident, yours truly has returned from the IAU conference and now has full access to the Internet again, so soon we shall resume your regularly scheduled astro-blogging.
