Ep01 Star Quest Radio: Mark Anderson Interview/Cassini Mission

Star*Quest Radio is a space podcast produced in collaboration with the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society, that aims to inspire people to look up at their local night-sky with a new understanding. This first episode is being released the night before Cassini takes its final plunge into Saturn's surface, so we decided to use it to deliver an overview of Cassini's mission. We talk to Mark Anderson, Director of the Star*Quest Observatory at the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society, in order to get an update on the goings on of Fort Wayne's Star*Quest Observatory, and what we might expect to see in the next month when we gaze up into our local night sky.
