Re: MERSING Expeditions (Next Trip: APR 12) Info/Reports/Pho

Hey Remus, thanks for organizing another great trip!

The list of observations for me is the same as Junwei's list - after all, he was the one who showed them to me :)
Thanks bro, for sharing the enthusiasm, knowledge, scope and even the star chart book :)

Re: How to use Twitter for astronomy?

Ok Gary, you've convinced me too - I've signed up for Twitter :)
What's your account btw? The one from which you post about the sidewalk sessions ...

I've also added Commander Chris Hadfield from the ISS.

Has Curiosity made an 'Earth-Shaking' discovery?

http://www.universetoday.com/98576/has-curiosity-made-an-earth-shaking-discovery/#more-98576 Apparently Curiosity has made an Earth-shaking discovery, but NASA is not announcing it because they want to verify the data, which is expected to take a few weeks.
