Didn't they discover a mushroom or fungus that had a root system as big as a county once? Whatever happened to it? Was there more than one? Where was it? I have no reason for asking, other than idle curiosity.
And the Cassini spacecraft has entered Saturn's zone of influence. That should make for some interesting photos in the next little while. Maybe it will find giant mushrooms on the surface of Titan- since it has an atmosphere it is at least nominally possible it could support life.
The physics building at the U of A has a telescope on its roof, and anyone is welcome to come and look in it most nights. I went once and saw Saturn- pretty. You could see the rings.
