Customer Reviews
Great Podcast
This is a fun way to learn about astronomy. It is very enjoyable to listen to!
And to think I dropped this class
For someone w/ little background in this field, I could actually follow along and not fall asleep in the back of the class ;o)
Dark Matter and Sounds of Astronomy
This is so cool. I never heard of Dark Matter before I heard this. And then today I saw an article about a new instrument on the Space Station and it made sense!
