Many interesting things happening in the universe:

My brother-in-law showed me the awesome Star Walk app for his iPhone on the weekend. You can identify constellations, find the planets, and satellites:

Looking forward to COSMOS 2:

Sunday night is Planetfest:

http://www.planetary.org/get-involve...anetfest-2012/

The Curiosity rover hits the Martian atmosphere at 13,000 mph, 154 million miles miles from Earth. It's on its own for 7 minutes while it makes the most daring landing ever attempted on Mars. Join The Planetary Society, thousands of other space fans, 30 scientific experts and dozens of artists and performers at the one event unlike any other as we witness the adventure live.

Great blog:
