Thursday Wonders...
From today's apod at Nasa - Have you seen a panorama from another world lately? ...this one sweeps across the magnificent desolation of the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon's Sea of Tranquility.

I'm reading Phil Rickman's Wine of Angels right now (and hate putting it down), but I must look out some good science fiction again when I've finished... Does anyone have any s-f recs? *g*
