Astronomy and works at the Harvard Science Center; Travis has a BA in Broadcast

Bad Astronomy |

Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy website works to debunk common myths and assumptions
about astronomy and space science that Hollywood and other fantasy manufacturers
have woven into our everyday lives. Plait sets the record straight on such
misconceptions as the Apollo moon hoax, Richard Hoagland's face on mars claim,
and whether you can stand an egg on end during the vernal equinox. |

Science |

to sensitize teachers and students to examples of the bad science often taught
in schools, universities, and offered in popular articles and even textbooks." |
