[+] "Nano World" -- Science Sunday Hangout On Air! [+]
This past Sunday, my amazing cohost +Buddhini Samarasinghe and I did a +ScienceSunday Hangout On Air with Electron Microscopist +Jon Hiller! I've gone through and processed some of the video and audio, did a few edits and placed it up on the +Astrosphere New Media Association YouTube channel for everyone to see.
I'm not just saying this because I was the cohost on the show... but it was absolutely amazing. Jon imaged some things live for us in the hangout, including one of the oldest rocks that humans have ever been able to directly detect and experiment on!! Give it a look!

Call it Zucchininaut. Or maybe Astrocchini.
A zucchini plant growing on the International Space Station is not only forging new scientific territory, but is winning the hearts of its human crew mates
NASA astronaut Don Pettit, has taken a special shine to the space plant, and even wrote blog posts in the voice of the zucchini...

Handheld astrophotography
Last night I took my 'scope out (a Celestron C8 SGT XLT) after sunset to take a peek at Mercury while it was still above the mountains to the west of me. Figuring what the heck, I took a look at the Moon, and then grabbed my iPhone to take a picture. I held it up to the eyepiece, and my results are below. Not bad for a handheld astrophoto!

Episode 2 of my new weekly science news video series, This Week in Science and Tech, is online! Hosted by +Carin Bondar, we go over the big science headlines of the past week. My segment: using 3D printers to build habitats on the Moon. I think this is a pretty good idea, and I explain why on the blog (which has the video embedded, too):

Pretty decent write up on an interesting science show. There is an interview that is done over Google Hangout, and is very interesting going over her career, etc.
Everyone, share this! Lets get +Carin Bondar on to the +The Daily Show or +The Colbert Report!!!
I think Jon Stewart would be great, but I think Stephen Colbert would really go to town on this with his usual over the top antics!
