A roundup of a bunch of new stuff to check out on The Planetary Society's website:

• I just posted a new "Stars Above" blog entry by Tyler Nordgren, where he visits Acadia National Park in Maine to think about the tides. Gee, what a coincidence that he's in Maine to see the leaves turn...I am still jealous of Tyler's idea for this yearlong project.
• Today's Planetary Radio show features Buzz Aldrin, Shana Dale, Peter Diamandis, Elon Musk, and Larry Page on the Google Lunar X Prize. And I don't believe I ever posted a link to last week's show, featuring an interview with Cassini imaging team associate Tilmann Denk, who planned (and exulted in) the Cassini flyby of Iapetus.
• We have a new weekly Mars Trivia Contest running in association with Discovery Channel Canada. Tell your friends!
And check out news stories on a possible source of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs; a test of a Mars life experiment; and Neptune's warm south pole.
