Here are things that are silly, inspiring, yummy, and/or completely random.

So tempted to send this to my former astronomy teacher, who always runs a "women in astronomy" unit to help female scientists gain visibility among students.

Elizabeth Roemer is an astronomer who discovered the asteroids 1930 Lucifer in 1964 and 1983 Bok in 1975. She is Professor Emerita, Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona.

What's all this then? Available now? Yup. More short stories to tickle your fancy. And other parts.

This is the Cygnus Loop nebula, captured by NASA's GALEX mission.

Smart Jewelry: The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states a fundamental limit on the accuracy with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, such as position and momentum, can be simultaneously known. In layman's terms: the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be controlled, determined, or known.

Nautilus Flax Flower. Science blogger Alchemystress liked it so much, she had it inked on her arm. I love when people are inspired enough by my artwork to make it permanently part of themselves.

This still make me laugh, even if it didn't become the must-see meme of 2012. CUSTOMER DOESN'T CHEESE. blogs.discovermag...

Maria Mitchell (August 1, 1818 – June 28, 1889) was an American astronomer, who in 1847, by using a telescope, discovered a comet which as a result became known as the "Miss Mitchell's Comet". She won a gold medal prize for her discovery which was presented to her by King Frederick VII of Denmark. The medal said “Not in vain do we watch the setting and rising of the stars”. Mitchell was the first American woman to work as a professional astronomer.

(I love these guys!) Musician George Hrab and Phil Plait posing in front of the wall used for the cover of his album "Trebuchet". Note the song at the upper right: that's named after Phil Plait's book, and he did vocals for the track. More: www.cdbaby.com/... Even more more: www.youtube.com/...

Better, in fact.
