OK, SO It's Cloudy...What's a Sky Watcher to do???
Hey Space Placers!
Wanna' know how many times I have been "clouded out" from an astronomical gotta' see? TOO MANY TIMES, that's how many!!!
But the pursuit of the sky goes with the weather (weax as I call it) unless you happen to be a radio astronomer who can observe day and cloudy night.
My relief for such times is to make the most of reading or surfin' the astronomical related 'net. I want to give you a list of my astro-faves that I check on a daily basis.
Of course my blog is on this list so you know how to get to it ;-)
http://www.nasa.gov/ Main NASA site with science and mission updates
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ Astronomy Picture of the Day is a mainstay classic
http://lunarscience.arc.nasa.gov/ for fellow lunatics like me, all things lunar
http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/ global warming DOES EXIST; check this out and see for yourself
http://www.skyandtelescope.com/ the grand-daddy of them all when it comes to astronomy magazines
http://www.spaceweather.com/ Vital resource for the Sun and space weather
http://lpod.wikispaces.com/2010 Another Moon Watcher mainstay classic
http://www.heavens-above.com/ A vital source for observing Earth orbiting vehicles such as HST, ISS
In a future blog I will post additional web links to space related sites.
