Carnival of Space #276

Heya! Over here. I found a back way into find­ing out the most amaz­ing astron­omy and space news of the week. Come with me into Car­ni­val of Space #276.

Chas­ing eclipses is great fun but so is watch­ing them from the com­fort of your chair at home; some­thing that wasn’t really pos­si­ble a decade ago. Uni­verse Today has a round-up of images and video from the total solar eclipse this month vis­i­ble in south­ern Australia.

Carnival of Space #272

23 October 2012 Written by CritterKeeper 0 Comments

It’s time for another roundup of the lat­est space news from var­i­ous blogs around cyber­space; some­thing we call Car­ni­val of Space. Watch your step and look up as you board the lat­est ride through the carnival.

Per­haps the biggest, cer­tainly the most excit­ing, news last week was the announce­ment from the Euro­pean South­ern Obser­va­tory of a scorch­ing world orbit­ing uber-close to Alpha Cen­tauri B. It’s also the light­est exo­planet dis­cov­ered around a Sun-like star, reports Next Big Future.  Nancy Atkin­son at our host Uni­verse Today detailed the new find­ing. Astroblog­ger offers reflec­tions (and a celes­tia file) on the recent Earth-sized red-hot planet.
