Those are some really great suggestions. I will have to add these sections to the blog. If you can think of more topics, feel free to come back and suggest them.
The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.

1. Cool Space Links (great finds, personal websites)
2. Astronomy (events, meetups, clubs, discoveries, pics)
3. Launches (schedule, who saw what, pics)
3. Science Fiction (and applied science fact)
4. Innovations and technology (inspired by or a direct result of space exploration…it might be fun to have a “history of” section)
A start?
Space2daMax,
