i saw this lovely astronomy image collage on
elise andrew's twitter feed this week and thought you might like it too.
elise is the founder of the fantastic "
i fucking love science" facebook group, and is hosting an "IFLS live" event in sydney tonight. the event features a pretty amazing array of special guests, including the
bad astronomer,
phil plait, who i was lucky enough to hang out with over the weekend.

the southern cross over phil plait |
i think phil was searching for special southern hemishere
dirty space news in the night sky above the crescent moon and very bright venus.
