Brighten up your day
It’s not a resource per se, but I probably should have mentioned the Astronomy Picture of the Day, run by NASA, which features a different space related picture every day. As you can see, some of these are amazing works of art in their own right, but with the accompanying blurb you can also learn [...]

Last night’s talks were really interesting and it was good to get three different opinions being discussed in a (semi-)public setting. Usually these sort of lectures are one-sided in their opinions, which tends to hide the fact that the hot topics are also the most controversial. So as I mentioned earlier there were three speakers, [...]
Universe or Multiverse?
On Thursday evening I am going to the launch of this book, edited by Professor Bernard Carr from QMUL, called “Universe or Multiverse?”. It is a collection of articles about the idea of a multiverse and the prospects (if any) or ever experimentally verifying it. On the night of the launch there are going to [...]

If you have ever wondered how your relations are able to rank the extended family as “once removed”, “second cousin” and so on, well here is a handy graph from Wikimedia which should clear things up. It shows an extended family tree back to great great grandparents and down as far as the third cousin [...]
