Talks and travels
I’m still in the US, where we’ve been filming pieces for the next few Sky at Nights. I need to write up the amazing two days we spent in mission control for Phoenix, but for now the Discovery blog has details of the Large Binocular Telescope and the alien-hunting Allen Telescope Array.
Having left the Sky at Night team crowing about their upgrade to first class on the way home and have headed off to visit Pamela. I’m giving a public talk tomorrow (Monday) night about Galaxy Zoo and citizen science more generally, and for those who can’t join us we’ll be broadcasting the event online.
The link is here, although you should be able to watch and chat below. The talk starts at 7pm Central, 1am Tuesday morning BST and midnight GMT.

Hugely enjoyable talk! Great to watch from thousands of miles away.

I second that! Felt like we were there. Definitly worth staying up for. Well done, it was great fun.

I LOVED this month’s Sky at Night. The interviews you did with the folks working on Phoenix were fascinating. Is it right that they have an electrical problem that could make the next sample their last? I hope not! They have done a fabulous job. The mission has been such a success so far.
