This is great for leaning new stuff Everyday

And this is how it goes down in the science tumblr community. Below is a reference list by scienceing - not meant to be comprehensive or absolute - highlighting recommended science blogs. After you’ve perused this (barring you haven’t gotten lost in all the knowledge and fun to be had along the way), be sure to give Thomas a personal shout-out for tossing this out there for everyone to acquire new sources of awesomeness. Well done (and thank you) my friend. See his latest post below:

So anon asked if I could list the science blogs I follow.  This isn’t all of them, but it’s close. To those I missed, I’m sorry you’re awesome though.

Also note that some of these are personal blogs of people that happen to post science.  This is in no specific order. (It’s just the order I thought of them mixed with the order of my following list.)

Up, Up and Away at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

Starting on October 5th, hot air balloon enthusiasts from around the globe descended upon New Mexico to kick off the nine-day Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The gathering draws 750 balloons and up to 100,000 daily spectators, making it the largest hot air balloon festival in the world.

Explore more photos from this year’s balloon fiesta—from the unique “special shape” balloons to the evening balloon glows—by browsing the #balloonfiesta hashtag and visiting the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta location page!

I hope I am still around...

In the year 2020, seven of the largest mirrors on Earth — 20 tons each — will come together in a 22-story, rotating building located in the southern Atacama Desert of Chile. They will form the Giant Magellan Telescope, a feat of science, technology, engineering and math that will have ten times the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope.

In this video from July 2013, Dr. Wendy Freedman, Chairman GMT, and Dr. Pat McCarthy, Director GMT, explain the astounding challenge of creating this precise, powerful, and wondrous machine. Read more at Phys.org.
