Glimpse of 2016 Astronomy Events and Discoveries

Written and hosted by Avivah Yamani. Each year, we have incredible observations, discoveries and events in astronomy that amaze us or become a great chance to build astronomy awareness. Today I'm going to share a few of my favourites. Next year.. hmm starting tomorrow‚ 365 Days of Astronomy will be launching a ninth season. Totality 2017 will be our theme, as we celebrate the path of Totality marching across North America during the solar eclipse on August 21st, 2017.
