I started at the beginning and would listen to several episodes a day, but for a series that started in 2006 releasing one or two episodes a week and is still going strong I had a lot of catching up to do!  Well, last weekend en route to Flagstaff I finally got myself caught up to the current episode, number 200.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.astronomycast.com\/\">Astronomy Cast<\/a> is truly amazing if you are at all interested in Astronomy. \u00c2\u00a0The hosts Pamela and Frasier make all the complex topics of physics and cosmology understandable to people without a math background. \u00c2\u00a0Frasier is particularly good at breaking down astronomy theories into everyday analogies. \u00c2\u00a0Topics range from Astronomy history, the solar system, stars, cosmology, astronomer biographies, and telescopes. \u00c2\u00a0I have found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.astronomycast.com\/\">Astronomy Cast<\/a> particularly helpful in understanding black holes, dark matter, and dark energy.<\/p>\n<p>So go check them out! \u00c2\u00a0I&#8217;ve been so intrigued by the topics covered that I got my own telescope this past summer, and it is so nice to see the planets close up, even in light polluted Phoenix. \u00c2\u00a0If you&#8217;ve never seen Jupiter or Saturn through a telescope and you&#8217;re in the area, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lowell.edu\/\">Lowell Observatory<\/a> in Flagstaff for a look through their 24&#8243; refractor. \u00c2\u00a0Most universities have an open Astronomy night, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the five day move-toArizona drive I took last year I started listening to a special podcast called Astronomy Cast.
