A great event. Maybe NEXT year I can get the wife to become one of the artists/merchants. She's good enough and gosh darnit, people like her.

Android Malware
If you have an Android phone, like I have, you are probably a little careful about downloading new apps. After all, there is no entity that reviews and approves the apps for Android, as there is for Apple.
While you may want to be careful, often there is little way you can know in advance that a particular app is malicious in some way. So, like so many things in life: you pay your money, you takes your chances.
Google Pulls 21 Apps in Android Malware Scare
Google has just pulled 21 popular free apps from the Android Market. According to the company, the apps are malware aimed at getting root access to the user's device, gathering a wide range of available data, and downloading more code to it without the user's knowledge.
Although Google has swiftly removed the apps after being notified (by the ever-vigilant Android Police bloggers), the apps in question have already been downloaded by at least 50,000 Android users.
The apps are particularly insidious because they look just like knockoff versions of already popular apps. For example, there's an app called simply "Chess." The user would download what he'd assume to be a chess game, only to be presented with a very different sort of app.
These apps are all pirated versions of popular games and utilities -- an expeditious solution for busy hackers. Once downloaded, the apps root the user's device using a method like rageagainstthecage, then use an Android executable file (APK) to nab user and device data, such as your mobile provider and user ID. Finally, the app acts as a wide-open backdoor for your device to quietly download more malicious code.
Below is a complete list of the bad apps, all of which were made by an entity called Myournet. If you've downloaded one of these apps, it might be best to take your device to your carrier and exchange it for a new one, since you can't be sure that your device and user information is truly secure. Considering how much we do on our phones -- shopping and mobile banking included -- it's better to take precautions.

March Stargazing
March Stargazing Summary
Venus and Jupiter continue to bracket the sky as winter gives way to spring. Venus is the brilliant "morning star," low in the east before sunrise, while Jupiter is the "evening star," sliding lower in the west day by day. Little Mercury slides past Jupiter in mid-month. Leo, the lion, leaps proudly across the sky, and is in view all night. Some of the icons of winter remain in good view as well. Orion is in the southwest at nightfall, with Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, twinkling in the south.

Radio Program Highlights
Hear StarDate every day on more than 360 radio stations nationwide or subscribe to our podcast: http://stardate.org/feeds/podcast.xml
March 1-6: Underground astronomy. Most astronomy is conducted on high: from mountains, balloons, and spaceships. But some astronomy is conducted down low: from deep under water, under ice, and underground. Join us for details on the depths of astronomy.
March 7-13: Black holes. We have tales of several black holes this week, including a big one in a small galaxy, and a monster one in a giant galaxy. Join us for black holes, plus a man who discovered a planet using only pencil and paper.
March 14-20: planet fall. Even though Mercury is one of our closest planetary neighbors, no spacecraft has ever orbited the planet. But that's scheduled to change this week. Join us for details on the Messenger mission to Mercury and much more.
March 21-27: Lightshows. Lightning is one of the most spectacular lightshows any of us will ever see. But the fireworks don't end at the tops of the clouds. They extend high into the sky and even into space.
March 28-31: Moon meanderings. The Moon passes by the brilliant "morning star" this week - the planet Venus. They're on good display in the dawn sky. Join us for details on the Moon's meanderings plus much more on the night sky.

Public Lecture in Austin: Exploding Stars!
Stars explode once every second in the universe, often becoming brighter than their home galaxies. Though most remain undiscovered by astronomers, recently enhanced capabilities to scan the skies now detect over 10 per day. This has revealed new modes of explosions, some much brighter than we expect, and some much fainter. This talk by visiting Tinsley Professor Lars Bildsten of UC-Santa Barbara will focus on exciting new discoveries about these exploding stars and their novel theoretical interpretations. The talk will be held March 24 at 7 p.m. in room 4.102 of Robert Lee Moore Hall (RLM) on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin.

This Month in StarDate Magazine
Take a peek into the life of the French astronomer who predicted Neptune's existence before anyone spied the planet: Urbain Leverrier. We'll celebrate the 200th anniversary of his birth in March. And learn about one of the least expensive, easiest to use telescopes: the Dobsonian.

First Stars in the Universe Weren't Lonely
The first stars to form in the universe were not as lonely as previously thought. These are the findings of an international collaboration between researchers at the Center of Astronomy at Heidelberg University, the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, and at The University of Texas at Austin. These results were recently published in Science magazine. The astrophysicists used state-of-the-art computer simulations to model the birth of the first stars to form after the Big Bang.
