Hey check out that nifty thing over on the right hand side of the page (if you are reading this via RSS you will need to come over to the AstroPodcast website to see) . Have you always had a burning question for an astronomer, or even a mildly curious musing you would like someone who knows about it to clarify? Well you are in luck! Leave a voicemail message with your question and I will ask an astronomer and get it in a future podcast. How cool is that?!? Its really easy to do just click on the thingy and a recording button will come up (make sure you have a microphone connected) and ask away make sure you leave your name or an alias ..and your email address if you want notification of when your question is answered.

Happy birthday AstroPodcast

AstroPodcast is more than just an astronomy podcast! Every day I put up the most interesting astronomy tidbits I find around the internet on the AstroPodcast Pinterest page. Pinterest is a curating tool that allows for an image and 500 characters of information, with a link to the site where that information is. I have been trying to keep pins (articles curated) numbers more than followers, yet the popularity keeps the numbers going up and up. If you have never seen Pinterest why not click on the link and check it out, I can guarantee you will find something interesting there (and I usually post new stuff twice a day apart from this weekend where I will be at a the South Pacific Star Party). Check it out here
