“This is the 400 year anniversary of Galileo turning his telescope towards the heavens and taking the first steps in understanding the motions of our solar system and our place in it. To commemorate this occation, 2009 has been declared the International Year of Astronomy. This podcast is a coordinated effort between several great astronomy podcasters and bloggers (Planetary Radio, Slacker Astronomy, Jodcast, Astronomy Cast, and Universe Today to name a few of the more recognizable ones). “Professional” podcasters, citizen podcasters, professional astronomers, amateur astronomers, and interested hobbyists are all contributing top notch materials each and every day of the year to help inform and educate non-astronomers about not only astronomy, but resources and issues that impact astronomy and what we see when we look up at the sky. Telescopes, Light Pollution, Space Travel, Observing, Internet Resources, and Historical Discussions are some of the topics already covered. Tune in, get informed, support the podcast, and even contribute material if you care to. Where else can you support such a noble cause while getting both educated and entertained!!!!”
