Tomorrow (Wednesday) is lunar astronaut Buzz Aldrin's 80th birthday.

The great man was the second to step on the Moon's surface and will go down in history as a member of the legendary Apollo XI crew.

Want to send him some birthday good wishes? Then head on over to the Planetary Society, which is putting together a giant card honoring his 80th trip around the sun,

The card will be presented to Aldrin at a ceremony hosted by the society.

Daniel Smith - a long time ago, in a galaxy far away just north of Watford, Daniel fancied himself as a scientist but turned out to be the worst scientist since that bloke who mapped out all those canals on Mars that turned out to be scratches on his telescope's lens. Luckily, he is now not working on the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently creating a black hole that would swallow the world but is safely behind a desk writing this blog, bringing you the fantastical underbelly of nature... weird science.
