Science Monday
Duck!
Whew, that was close! Looks like we were almost in a crappy Bruce Willis movie.
Maybe you're fine with this, but personally I am NOT happy that this happened in March and we're just now finding out about it. How can we possibly know to send Willis and Affleck to save the Earth with this kind of lackadaisical notification? These guy's time is valuable, and they can't be expected to save us without at least a little notice. Where do the prez candidates stand on funding for astronomy, our first line of defense?
Also, if you can get past the mental image of flies mating, this is kind of interesting. Might explain the, um, reputation of jet-lagged airline crews.
