SUMMARY: Astronomer Phil Plait has found a great niche for himself - debunking bad science, specifically Bad Astronomy. He's been at it on the web for years, and it came as no surprise to me when I found out there was a book deal in the works.


Comments or questions about this story? Feel free to share your thoughts.

I've read through this book at the bookstore, and it's something everyone should read. All those fools who say the lunar missions were faked need to read it and learn something.

At the bookstore? Ouch, Phil's ears are probably burning right now. Go buy a copy. :-)
