What was new at Bad Astronomy in 2001?Archive: 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | 2003 | 2002 | 2001 | 2000 | 1999
November 12, 2001: Will the Lion roar? On the evening of November 17/18, the annual Leonid meteor shower will peak. This year there may very well be a strong storm of meteors, as many as 7000 per hour in some locations! The favored locations/times are the U.S. west coast around 2:00 a.m. local time (10:00 Greenwich) on the 17/18, and the east coast of Asia about 7 hour later. The Asian peak should be the bigger of the two. However, no matter where you are, you should go out and look! The predictions may be off, and somewhere else will get a strong peak. For more info (including general meteor shower observing advice) check out the CCNET webpage (scroll down a bit). I also have a couple of Leonids pages from showers past: a general Leonids page (some of the links no longer work, but the main ones do), one about Leonids hitting the Moon, and another about a Leonid that exploded (no, there's no danger from something like that).
November 8, 2001 (2): I was interviewed on TechTV November 8th about this very website. See my calendar for more info.
November 6, 2001 (1): I am pleased and proud to announce that as of earlier today, this site has received 4 million page hits since January 1 of this year. I am amazed at the traffic levels! Much of this is due to the Fox Moon Hoax page, and from a Reuters interview in January. Thanks to all the folks out there who have supported this site and encouraged me to continue. [Note added January 2, 2002: The total number of page hits for the year 2001 was 4,540,498.]
November 1, 2001: An article of mine about aurorae was just placed on the FAZ website (in English).
October 30, 2001: If you came here from the Astronomy Picture of the Day, you may want to check out my description of crepuscular rays in an article I wrote about Sun Pillars. You can also search my site about crepuscular rays as well.
October 25, 2001: I am now writing a regular, monthly column for Astronomy magazine's website (I actually have the official title of "Contributing Editor"). The first column is now online, and is called "Everything's Under the Sun".
October 18, 2001: A Yahoo! news story is in the wrong orbit.
August 17, 2001: I will be making several local guest talks in the coming weeks. They are listed on my calendar.
August 14, 2001: I was interviewed in a local (for me) newspaper about this website; a sortof "local boy does good" story. It was really fun to do, and it's the first time that I have been interviewed specifically to do a story about the website (usually I am quoted about something else). This is strictly a blowing-my-own-horn thing, but what the heck. ;-)
August 8, 2001
NOTE:
August 7, 2001 BAD ASTRO ALERT! Tomorrow, on August 8, Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke will be a guest on NBC's "The Today Show" as part of their series "Truth or Conspiracy?". He will be speaking about the Moon hoax. He emailed me and said he will be mentioning this site by name! Another guest on the show is Hoax Believer Bill Kaysing, featured in the execrable Fox show, so it should be an, um, interesting segment. While you're at it, you can read an article I wrote for Space.com about the Moon hoax. It's a bit longer and has more detail than what was published in their magazine (see the next listing below for more about that).
July 26, 2001:
July 20, 2001: I will be interviewed on the RK Radio network in St. Paul, Minnesota on Monday, at 12:10 p.m. Pacific time. You can listen to the broadcast on the web by going to the Ruth Koscielak website, or if you are in the North Star state, here is a list of affiliates that broadcast Ruth's show. We'll be talking about-- of course!-- the Moon hoax.
July 12, 2001: Alert! I will be interviewed live on the Montreal radio station CJAD 800 AM at about 12:30 a.m. tonight (Eastern time). You can listen on the web as well by going to the CJAD website. It's a call-in program so throw me a few softballs. ;-)
July 10, 2001: I was interviewed in the Orlando Sentinel about the Moon Hoax. It's a pretty good article, actually, and is available online.
June 29, 2001: A new book about Hubble images by astronomer Mark Voit has been added to the Bad Astronomy Recommended Reading list.

The wide coverage of the article means I am getting a lot of email right now. Feel free to email me and ask questions, but bear in mind it might take me a few days to catch up! Thanks.
