My live video live chat starts at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time (21:00 UT) today (Sunday April 27). If you look below and see/hear me nattering away about black holes or UFOs, then you’re in. I urge you to go to the UStream page, though, so you can participate in the chat room. If you want to change your nickname there, type "/nick JoeRogan" (or whatever) in the text field.
See you there! Oh wait, no I won’t. But you’ll see me.
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

The UStream service is almost intolerable. Both the audio and video are very choppy(I have DSL, too.). The chat window is too small and difficult to traverse.

Great session Phil! I wish you’d change the chat, because for some reason it doesn’t work for me. I also wish you’d have an intermission or something, because I had to go to the bathroom but I didn’t want to miss anything

Firefox doesn’t seem to like Ustream. It gave up minutes before you finished to broadcast, and it did not respond.

I think there is conspiracy because everytime there is a video chat it is when I am working.

Great chat today, Phil. I look forward to checking those videos out in the near future. Thanks for the book suggestions.

I must thank you for answering my questions. Especially the one concerning the sun consuming the Earth. Your answers are proving to be of great assistance to a project I’m working on.
