Bad Astronomy is a website created by The Bad Astronomer who debunks many misconceptions about astronomy. The BABB is the bulletin board attached to the website, it is a place where people can discuss topics in not only astronomy, but other sciences as well. We currently have teams in Einstein@Home, LHC@Home, SETI@Home, and the upcoming orbit@home.
