If you think the Moon rocks, you might want to join the MoonZoo project, thanks Dopefish. Enter Oxford astrophysicist Chris Lintott. He's asking amateur astronomers to help review, measure and classify tens of thousands of moon photos streaming to Earth. He has set up the website MoonZoo.org, where anyone can log on, get trained and become a space explorer.
Speaking of amateur astronomers, some say the recent mystery USAF shuttle launched last month has an orbit suitable for launching spy satellites. On Friday, US Air Force spokesman Gary E.

That's exactly what we intend to find out.
Back to the space theme, with a time-lapse shuttle assembly and launch video from Tzorst. The result, produced in collaboration with Andrews’ son Philip (a photojournalist himself), is a stunning, one-of-a-kind, four-minute chronicle of Discovery’s trip from the Orbiter Processing Facility to the pad, beginning with the "rollover" to the Vehicle Assembly Building on February 22 and ending with the STS-131 launch on April 5.
The war of words between Senator Conroy and Google continues. While Google has declined repeated requests for an interview, in a statement a spokeswoman said the company was surprised to hear criticism about Facebook and Google's privacy record in a hearing supposed to be focused on the Government's proposed internet filters.
