Looks like our community is not splintering into small groups, but enriching our ties by creating new ways to join hands and minds through our shared interests and passions.
One of mine is space - astronomy, earth science, space travel (real and fictional). I hope we can gather other Kossacks who share these passions, so we can share our musings, photos and news.
Can't yet figure out how to create a "group blogroll" in this new environment - my personal recommendations for daily astronomy browsing appear below the fold... along with my invitation for you to offer your own suggestions!
My first four web visits every morning:
Astronomy Picture of the Day
Space Weather
Space Ref news
Emily Lakdawalla's blog at the Planetary Society
Upcoming events (i.e. exploits of our fleet of space explorers):
Mercury Messenger (orbital insertion March 18)
Stardust (encounter with comet Tempel1 Feb. 14)
A sampling of ongoing sources of amazing news and views:
Lunar Recon Orbiter
Mars Recon Orbiter
Mars Rovers Spirit & Opportunity
Mars HiRise camera (on orbiter)
Dawn mission to Vesta and Ceres
Saturn Cassini Orbiter
Pluto New Horizons
Kepler planet search
