Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan who
enjoy teaching astronomy classes and showing the public views
through their telescopes. actualastronomy@gmail.com

 

This month in episode 528 we talk about 3 Comets, two of which
may end up being very bright. We also touch on some colorful
double and carbon stars. There are many spring spirals we help
listeners find as well as the Lyrid Meteor shower. This month the
Moon pairs with Spica, Antares and the planets and at mid-Month a
very young moon is visible for some listeners.

Mein Archiv

Deine Privatkopie der Folgen, die du nicht verlieren willst.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
