National Geographics..

Noticed in the newsagent the other day, Nat Geo had a $20 book out with a bunch of images taken of space, from space, missions, etc.

Looked pretty good, albeit a bit pricey..

And this months National Geographic had something about space/planets as well.. Looked pretty good too. I think I need to get a subscription to that one.

Mike,

I find that National Geographic tends to have an astronomy article every year or so - it's nice that they're covering the search for extrasolar planets this time around. They had one on Mars not that long ago.

Back in the days of the Voyager probes, I fondly recall their coverage of the planetary flybys.

Well worth subscribing to - and keeping on the bookshelves.

Regards,
Greg Bryant

Agreed Greg.. the chiropractor I used to go to had a lot of back issues on the shelves in the waiting room.. kinda made it "ok" that they were always running late, gave me something to read

I do want a Nat Geo subscription - always an interesting read.

I had an Australian Geographic subscription for a year, but I didn't renew.. the articles just weren't as interesting, and only coming out every 3 months, I got bored in the in-between times.

Might have to suggest a Nat Geo subscription to my family for my b'day present..
