CosmoQuest Weekly Space Hangout.
I’ve been attending some cool astronomy and space science based Google+ hangouts just recently, and I think they’ll be a good addition to my blog. Here is the latest CosmoQuest weekly space hangout video that I watched live earlier.
The next one is on Friday 15th February at 8PM GMT. Further details are available here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cdlo79kl4tl6rsj29pg30v72ci8.
I will be embedding the hangout to my blog when it goes out. So if you want to catch it live, you can do so here.
You can also find details of upcoming shows at the CosmoQuest website: http://cosmoquest.org/Hangouts/
