- An astronomer’s paradise | Bad Astronomy
Cerro Paranal, in the high, dry, Atacama desert in Chile, is where some of the best astronomy in the world is done.

- As from above, so from below | Bad Astronomy
NASA’s Earth Observatory site just put up this amazing picture. I have to say, this is one of the cooler pictures from the International Space Station that I’ve seen. Not for it’s beauty or anything like that — though it is starkly lovely — but because of what it shows: [Click to dicraternate.] Obviously, that’s [...]
