Carnival of carnivals

This is a bit embarassing, but I missed posting about a few editions of the Carnival of Space… so, here they go!

Two weeks ago, New Frontiers hosted the record-breaking (in number of articles) Carnival of Space #41, where we learned about cosmic cannibals, uses for the Wii remote, the Columbus module and Columbus’s compass, among many others.

Last week, Chris Lintott hosted the Carnival of Space #42 and ordered the entries by distance from the Earth: from what’s beyond our horizon, through the possible location of the world’s most powerful telescope, all the way to Phoenix, including everything in between.

And this week Starts With a Bang hosts the Oscar-themed Carnival of Space #43, with awards for Stellar Breakthrough Performance, Biggest Burst, Best Broadcast and many others, including (of course) Best Picture.

And, if you want more, head over to the Conspiracy Factory for this week’s leap-year themed Skeptics Circle.

Enjoy!
