Carnival of Space #623
Welcome back to the 623rd Carnival of Space! As happens every week, the Carnival roams from website to blog, pitching its tent anew. And ever week, it brings you fresh articles on space science and astronomy. Articles written by some of the best and most exciting science writers the Internet has to offer!
This week is a big one, with fully five different contributors. If you want to cut straight to the chase, then go ahead and skip down towards the bullet pointed entries. But if you’re hanging around, hoping for an Urban Astronomer Podcast update, well: next episode drops on 13 August, where we’ll be taking a detailed, but math-free look at what makes things stay up in space, why there’s actually no such thing as zero gravity, and how orbits actually work.
