Just let you all know about a new blog I've started called The Gish Bar Times located at http://gishbar.blogspot.com/ . I intend to use the blog to cover Io-related news like new papers or abstracts, developments with the flagship mission selection process, newly processed images, volcano news, or pretty photos taken of Io and Jupiter. I hope you all enjoy!

With the 400th Anniversary of the discovery of Io and the other Galilean satellites coming up on Thursday, this week I am doing a series of posts on Galileo's discovery, Simon Marius's claim, and the discovery of the moons in the history of astronomy:
