For the seasoned astronomically minded person, the info may not seem so informitiv, and maybe a little boring even.
I have really enjoyed them, though must admit the meteoreite blew me away a bit, but Brians the boss to me.
Fair enough, too Liz.

I have said many times, that Science needs regular ambassadors who appear in the public eye. I see no reason to compromise the accuracy of information conveyed in achieving public awareness, however.

It also promotes useful, thought provoking discussions using a similar style, but coming from an opposing viewpoint.
