Carnival of Space #599
Welcome to episode 599 of the Carnival of Space, hosted here at the home of the Urban Astronomer Podcast. Every week, the carnival chooses a new website to host a collection of space science and astronomy articles. And every week, a quick visit to the carnival will bring you up to date.
Podcast listeners should prepare themselves after reading these updates: Not only will we soon be publishing the last of the ScopeX lectures, we’ll also be recording a special feature episode with the crew from Awesome Astronomy. They predicted that the Opportunity rover would not recover from the Martian winter, while Clem and I hoped that it would. Words were exchanged, bets were made, and now we have to face the music. There will be unbearable amounts of gloating. Don’t miss it!
