Carnival Of The Space Geeks (Astroengine And Cheap Astronomy)
Two weeks ago, Ian O’Neill of AstroEngine fame hosted the 96th Carnival of Space. There were many interesting articles posted which ranged from lucky space billionaires to Martian girl rovers to even mentions of a Venus manned mission.
Articles readers here might want to check out include:
- Dr. Bruce Cordell of 21st Century Waves keeps the faith by forecasting a second renaissance of the space industry within six years!
- Paul Scott Anderson from The Meridiani Journal informs everyone about Martian mud volcanoes which may still be active on the red planet.
- Emily Lakdawalla via The Planetary Society discusses the salt that may keep Martian water unfrozen in a brine like state.
Be sure to check out the rest of the entries over at AstroEngine, as space here fails to mention the other interesting articles (like interstellar probes).
Last week’s Carnival of Space was hosted by Steve Nerlich upon Cheap Astronomy, which highlighted many articles ranging from bouncing Martian boulders to who really fathered American space stations to even how to detect exo-planet worlds via their magnetospheres.
