Science Tattoos

Carl Zimmer (writes about science regularly for the New York Times and magazines such as Discover, where he is a contributing editor and columnist, and the author of six books) had created a group on Flickr for science tattoos a few years back. A few weeks ago I stumbled across this site – The Science Tattoo Emporium, that he has set up under his blog called “The Loom” on DiscoverMagazine.com. It’s a collection of science tattoos. There are some very original ideas for ink in the collection. It made me want to get something scientific to show my love for geology, but I have no idea what. Not sure how well it would fit into my current theme of Japanese tattoos that I’ve already started.

NASA to slam rocket into Moon

If you haven’t heard of this yet NASA is sending the LCROSS booster rocket into crater Cabeus at 4:31 am PDT (11:31 UT) on Friday, October 9th, 2009 (that’s TOMORROW!), followed by the LCROSS mothership four minutes later. Lots of professional and amateur astronomers will be watching the show through their telescopes. Here is NASA’s LCROSS Viewer’s Guide and a NASA animation on what will happen. Unfortunately the eastern US will not get a good view of this due to the time of when the event is to happen. I’m sure I’ll catch it on a video somewhere. There will be plenty of places to watch it!
