Hey, all! Nicole here with some quick updates.

Firstly, the Carnival of Space for this week is posted at Supernova Condensate, so go see this week’s spacey goodness.

Next, the crowd-funding project for space science, Uwingu, got an extension to their Indiegogo campaign, and they are almost to their goal with just 6 days left! Can you help with a donation? A share? A tweet? I wrote a bit on how you can help science, including with this project, over on Skepchick.

If you are a teen in Europe and you like space, you should check out the Odysseus Contest and submit your space exploration project idea. Thanks to Rosa for giving us a heads up on this one.

Don’t forget International Observe the Moon Night is Saturday! We’ll be doing a bunch of live online Hangouts through CosmoQuest and you can probably find an event near you at their website.

In addition to such special events, our weekly Google+ Hangout on Air offerings have ramped back up to full force with the Virtual Star Party on Sunday nights, Astronomy Cast on Monday, Weekly Science Hour on Wednesday, and the Weekly Space Roundup on Thursday, all of which you can watch at CosmoQuest and subscribe to our Google Calendar so you don’t miss out.

I’ll be attending a conference in my former hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia, next weekend. You can come say hi at a public talk give by another UVa astronomy alum, Phil Plait! He’ll be reminding us of once again how we’re NOT going to die in 2012 due to some cosmic catastrophe. If you come up to me and say “I am CosmoQuest!” I’ll give you a button or a sticker or whatever else I manage to cram into my suitcase this time around.

Cheers!
