BABloggee Steven Avery on Twitter sent me a link to a story about astronomy done on MSNBC and its great. Seriously, its worth the 11:30 to watch it. They show not just what were doing, but why were doing it. Its rare for any mainstream medium to cover this well, but its extraordinary that they delve into the philosophy and sheer joy of exploration. <\/p>\n

Fantastic. The short segment after, with Brian Williams talking to Harry Smith is simply wonderful. Its uplifting to see two news people talking about how much they love this sort of thing. I wish we had more of this. I spend a lot of time shaking my head and gritting my teeth over science coverage in the news in this country, so something like this is a breath of fresh air so sweet its staggering. <\/p>\n
