Ep. 33 Comets
05/27/19 • 20 min
There are over 3,500 comets that we know of, so this is just a brief overview of what comets are, and then a list of some Great Comets and a few well-known comets. I also discuss some of the missions that various organizations and nations (i.e., NASA, the Soviet Union, ESA, Japan) have undertaken to examine comets up close and personal.

Ep. 32 Black Holes
I have mentioned black holes in previous episodes, but now feels like the right time to talk about them in their very own episode! I also discuss the new photos of the supermassive black hole in the galaxy Messier 87 and the telescope that was needed to acquire those photos.

Ep. 34 Stargazing
Not enough people in the real world listened to my stories about my recent stargazing adventure, so I distilled my process and plans so that the process of selecting a site and using a stargazing app seems more attainable for those who have never thought of stargazing. Short, sweet, and a story-based glimpse into amateur stargazing for fun!
