THE 365 DAYS OF ASTRONOMY PODCAST Daily Podcast of the IYA "The 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast is a project that will publish one podcast per day, 5 to 10 minutes in duration, for all 365 days of 2009. The podcast will be made available through an RSS feed. The podcast episodes will be written, recorded and produced by people around the world. Each day will have a specific topic or theme based on a daily calendar of astronomical events, themes and ideas created by the IYA. Although all the episodes will have a common intro and outtro that ties into the overall theme, each episode will be completely different." I am working on a podcast featuring Wil Tirion, creator of Sky Atlas 2000.0, The Cambridge Star Atlas, Uranometria 2000.0, among many other uranographical publications. It will be available from iTunes or RSS feed on February 19, 2009. You should go to 365daysofastronomy.org and check it out. It promises to be a very interesting year of podcasts!

I hope it gets some attention. I subscribed before it went active and I love the diversity of the contributors and the subject material. It's going to be an exciting year for Astronomy. TNX Don.

I just joined. I have always had a passive interest in astronomy but when I heard about the IYA 2009 I started getting active. I have contributed to the 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast. My episode 'airs'... er 'goes live' on April 10th. It is a personal story about building an observatory. I hope you'll listen and would enjoy comments. By the way, SkyGX, your episode was great! I always wondered about the fine star maps I'd see around made by this Wil Tirion fellow. www.365daysofastronomy.org -------------------- Orion 100mm ED Refractor Meade 4505 Celestron CGEM 1100 The 'Lazy R' Observatory Post Extras:       Richard B.

The Dec 3rd podcast features Dr. Mark Whittle of UVa, talking about some astonishing implications regarding the WMAP image of the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background). You should all have a listen.
