Part 4 www.youtube.com Phil Plait works in the physics and astronomy department at Sonoma State University. In the early 90s, he started Badastronomy.com, which has become a popular website focused on educating the public about astronomy and space science, especially as regards common misconceptions and pseudoscientific astronomy claims. In recent years, he has also been involved with debunking several more general pseudoscientific theories. In March 2006, Science magazine celebrated the Bad Astronomy website, praising Plaits blog, begun in March 2005. This blog was also a finalist for the 2006 Weblog Award (the Bloggie). The author of one book, The Bad Astronomer, Phil Plait is also a regular contributor to many online publications, including The Huffington Post. In this interview with DJ Grothe, Phil Plait discusses science education, the need for the public appreciation of science, public investment in space science, and how such investment benefits society. He also addresses the question of sciences compatibility with religion, and explores social conflicts surrounding the teaching of evolution in the public schools. www.pointofinquiry.org

Video on Mars presenting Astronomy Software that gives an impression of being on the surface of Mars. Video showing panoramas and images, including the “Santa Anita” panorama, taken by NASA’s Mars Rover Spirit during the Mars Exploration Rover Mission. The video was created with the aid of virtual reality astronomy program VRMars-Spirit – The Red Planet Mars 3D, released by Sciterian Technologies and powered by the VRPresents technology that gives an impression of being on the surface of Mars. Great astronomical video for astronomy, space exploration and science lovers. Get this astronomical software at www.vrmars.com/VRMars-Spirit-The-Red-Planet-Mars-3D.htm or www.vrmars.com and enjoy roving Mars. See the planet like you were the Mars Rover. Learn more on the technology VRPresents at www.sciterian.com .

Eclipse over the Temple of Poseidon The Moon moved to partly block the Sun for a few minutes last week as a partial solar eclipse became momentarily visible across part of planet Earth. In the above single exposure image, meticulous planning enabled careful photographers to capture the partially eclipsed Sun well posed just above the ancient ruins of the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, Greece. • antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov ? Dust Sculptures in the Rosette Nebula Noted for the common beauty of its overall shape, parts of the Rosette Nebula, also known as NGC 2237, show beauty even when viewed up close. Visible above are globules of dark dust and gas that are slowly being eroded away by the energetic light and winds by nearby massive stars. Left alone long enough, the molecular-cloud globules would likely form stars and planets. The Rosette Nebula spans about 50 light-years across and lies about 4500 light-years away. • antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov ? Watch Jupiter Rotate What would it be like to coast by Jupiter and watch it rotate? This was just the experience of the New Horizons spacecraft as it approached and flew by Jupiter. Visible above in the extensive atmosphere of the Solar System’s largest planet are bands and belts of light and dark clouds, as well as giant rotating …

At the Beyond Belief conference, astronomer Carolyn Porco describes the spirituality inherent in the scientific view of the Universe. To see what a science-based religion might look like in real life, take a look at yoism.org Go to http to see the rest of this three part series (you can also download this video there). And see www.yoism.org to understand what we mean by “saint” in Yoism and why we refer to Dr. Porco as “Saint Carolyn.”
