The money is set to go to the non-profit Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP). Looks like they're billing this as Astronomy's version of Lance Bass and the Space Station. How much would YOU pay?"

    There's an article featured over at space.com about an ongoing EBay auction to spend a night in Hawaii's Keck Observatory with Astronomer Geoff Marcy.

    You know, if those guys were really smart they would have purposely goofed up the astronmer's name as 'Marcy Geoff' in the promotion. Then when some horny geek has spent big bucks in the hopes that he's gonna bed some astrobabe they can claim that it was a typo and reveal that the astronomer is really Geoff Marcy.

    Well, that's what I would have done at least...
