We're getting into the lunar spirit on the podcast this week. Marking the Apollo Moon landings 40 years ago we decided to revel in the glory of lunatics online.

kathy2.gif Thanks to Kathy Jones for this beautiful moon photo.

If we mentioned a place that you would like to visit online, then you can find all the links right here:

ColinPic1.gifFirst up on our lunar trip joins us. An astrophysicist who can often be found at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, he shares his passion for our local celestial companion.

spudis.gifIf you can see the moon and we've been there before, then why not return and try to sustain human life? explains why a return to the moon can help us all on Earth.

kj.gifGazing at the moon is not a new activity, so it is no surprise that the photo sharing site has many groups that share photos of the moon, telescopic, atmospheric and certainly familiar. dropped by to talk about her love of sharing lunar photography.

npg.gifThe Apollo landings are doubtless an event that changed things for everyone lucky enough to be around to see it happen. For the younger set, a Twitter stream has been set up that charted the journey in real time as though the short form messaging system were around back in 1969. Lucas Laursen set up the account to reflect the passing time for a journey to the moon for the Nature.com blog.

emp.gifTo top the show this week, I was lucky enough to track down the one and only, original - on Facebook. Of course the social networking site appears to have manged to go out to the lunar orbit and back so that "his lunacy" is able to reach loyal subjects on Earth who may be seeking citizenship within his empire.

Pods on TwitterIf you have seen a blog or heard a podcast that you think we should know about, drop me a line at podsandblogs -at- bbc.co.uk I'd love to hear from you. Or you can follow us on .

jk Back next week with more web wonders! Jamillah
