Big day in the history of science

November 24, 2009

As Thony Christie notes, today is the anniversary of Jeremiah Horrocks and William Crabtree becoming the first observers to record a transit of Venus. It’s not all about Darwin, you know.

I will not dissect things unless instructed … Nullius in Verba?

The Fine Print

Some things to consider. I will not necessarily be responding to (or even reading) comments. I generally do not block comments unless they are off-topic, merely a soap-box for the individual, or clearly spam. I reserve the right to ban persistent offenders. Occasionally a comment will be held up for moderation because it triggers a filter; in particular comments with four or more links will be delayed. Do not resubmit the comment - it will be posted when I get an opportunity. Lastly, commenting get automatically shut down three weeks after the post first appears. Have fun!
