The debate over Intelligent Design in this country has been going on for years (though exactly why escapes me--it ain't science). The always-enlightening PBS series NOVA profiles the struggle between science and ID in one Pennsylvania town in "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial," airing Tuesday, November 13 at 8:00 p.m. CST.
Anyone else tried searching for Comet Holmes? I got out my telescope and set up in the back of my truck Monday night, searching for what was billed as this spectacular comet. When I finally found the darn thing, it was just a fuzzy gray blob. Booooooooo. Hisssssssss. Maybe you'll have better luck--Holmes will be visible for another few weeks.
Gratuitous mention of a nifty Wikipedia article: the rings of Jupiter.
Finally, and on a lighter note, the Times of London presents a list of the ten wackiest science experiments of all time.
