Would one of you like to be the book discussion leader for The Human Cosmos?

I'm so excited to say that the forum upgrade is in progress. I know you guys don't always see what I post in the BookTalk.org News forum so I'm giving you that good news here. You'll soon be able to enjoy BT on mobile devices and we should have a flood of new traffic that will increase gradually over time.

Let me know about discussion leader.

Can’t wait to see these changes, Chris.

I’m not sure we need a discussion leader. But Robert seems a natural choice. :clap:

I will do my best to contribute as well.

from the Hall of Bulls at Lascaux Cave.
This painting, done millennia before the invention of writing, shows accurate depiction of the most vivid stars of the night sky in the constellation of Taurus. The Pleiades are the group of six stars above the bull, while the Hyades, including the bright star Aldebaran, can be seen accurately positioned within the bull's head. There are also stars that correspond to the tips of the bull's horns.
