Welcome to Links Through Space, astronomy for everyone.
This is the blog of our Astronomy Club here in Kustavi, Finland
We write/post news about space related topics and we showcase our Astrophotos and Timelapses.
Our blog is a way for you to follow Space/Astronomy news and find new links through the Internet about Space and astronomy.
So here we have it, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Links Through Space is honored to declare the 321th Carnival of Space live from Kustavi Finland.
OPEN!
This edition of the Carnival of Space starts with the much anticipated Comet ISON C/2012. Hope it will be a good one. At our Astronomy Club Toutatis we are preparing to follow the comet and snap great pictures of it.

Explaining the basic properties of galaxies - from spirals like our own
Milky Way to dwarf galaxies like the Magellanic Clouds - has been one of
the central occupations of astronomers over the last few decades.
I believe that there is abundant value in making our near-term goal the
creation of a flexible and permanent system that opens up space for many
different and varied uses. Making the space program a Quest for Life
Elsewhere is a prescription for failure and ultimately, termination.
The Cygnus spacecraft is loitering near the ISS. Photos To Space takes a
look at the causes of the delay and why sometimes waiting is a good
thing.
A ‘laser starway’ concept by Charles Quarra present is a natural
evolution of the work of both Robert Forward and Geoffrey Landis in
extending the reach of beamed power into deep interstellar space, by
taming the beam divergence that is ever present in all laser wavefronts...
