Carnival of Space is a roam appeal of article on space science . The vacation weekend shortened the news cycle , yet nerveless thing kept happening anyway :
CosmoQuest headed to a Maker Fair , experimenting with harnessing that creativity and ebullience for the on-going citizen science undertaking to map our solar organisation .

When it come to astronomy news , this week has been all Orbital Carbon Observatory all the clip on io9 . After pose a backstage pass to lurch Vandenberg Airforce Base , I watchedthe first launch endeavour get scrubbedwith less than a arcminute before launch , then thesecond launch attempt follow cleanly . Full up with yet more information on the new satellite , I shareda list with all my favourite tidbits of triviaabout OCO2 .
