There’s no need to comment on:
- NASA says — and forces all of its public statements to say — that The Big Bang is just a “theory”. (But there’s no lack of opinion out there, at Cosmic Variance, Bad Astronomy, Pharyngula, Balloon Juice, Stranger Fruit, Gary Farber, and Mark Kleiman…)
- The closure of the London Planetarium, to be replaced by “some kind of Hello! magazine experience”.
Hmmmm, could these kinds of things be related?

Your link there is broken, as you accidentally filled in the area for the URL with text, instead. Might want to fix it. :-)
Thanks for the link, and for reading me.

I can not see problem about Londom Planetary except as other sign of XIXth century closing down. Go Portobello and you will find microscopes and telescopes sold at cheap.
The planetary itself was at Touseaud's, it was not a science hall but an spectacle from the Wax Museum.
