Success! We did it! A Celebration of the Discovery of the Big Bang is coming on April 20! Can you be there? [Starstuff, Contemplating]

News Flash! The bright star Betelgeuse will be occulted (eclipsed) by an Asteroid Tomorrow Night (December 11-12) – only visible in a narrow band, or online

For many of our Ancestors, eclipses were times of terror and dread.  Now we can forecast them with precision down to a fraction of a second, and understand well what is going on.  Plus, we can even predict events with a narrower path of view – like the once in a lifetime “eclipse” of Betelgeuse (the bright red star of Orion’s left hand) by an asteroid!
