365 Days of Astronomy Podcast
Are you listening to The 365 Days of Astronomy? I am totally digging it. I listen almost every day and if I get behind I catch up, so I’ve listened to them all.

Check out some of these titles:

Armchair Astronauts Exploring the Solar System
Five Years of Spirit on Mars
Galileo Discovers Jupiter’s Moons, Going to Disneyworld
Gosh, Dim It All!
Have a Plan
How to be an Armchair Astronaut
January’s Garnet Star
Massive Stars with Dr. Roberta Humphreys
Observing Quasars with Nature’s Telescope
Pulsars
Radio Astronomy. What’s That
Space Telescope of the Future: The Space Interferometry Mission
The Link Between Beer and Space Settlement
The Man Who Beat Galileo
The North Star
The Seasons and Solar System Geometry
The Spacewriter’s Top Ten Reasons Why Stargazing is Cool
Tips For Your First Telescope
Understanding Variable Stars
Voyage Past the Sideways Planet
What is Astrobiology
Who Ordered the Dark Matter and Dark Energy

It’s all been really great stuff. Maybe I’ll link those titles when I have time.

Anyway, if you are not listening, it’s not too late. Since the podcasts are only 10 minutes or so, you can listen to a week’s worth in about an hour.

So get on it!

  1. Man, the guy that did the Carbon Star podcast was a real silver tongued devil =-)

  2. I think I’m about a week behind on listening, but they’ve been mostly great. There’s some variability, but I think I’ve learned something with each show.

    On the carbon star one, I should have realized I needed a telescope to see it as reddish. My 20×80 binoculars could show it but only faintly.

    I liked the variable star nomenclature and your big numbers podcast. I used the big numbers with my son later that day – adding the exponents. We both *knew* that you could do that, but you provided context.

  3. I have really enjoyed the podcast too. It’s a great idea and it’s cool to hear from experts and noobs alike. Plus, it was nice because I was way behind when I had my eyes done, so it gave me something to listen to for a couple hours when I was laid up!
