This episode is the beginning of what I hope to be a graduated lesson plan of how to begin looking up into the night-sky with more confidence and knowledge! It is created by researching many sources, largely the book Star Watch by Philip S. Harrington that Mark Anderson from the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society recommended in our previous episode.

Star*Quest Radio - Ep4: Observing For Beginners

Star*Quest Radio is a space podcast produced in collaboration with the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society, that aims to inspire people to look up at their local night-sky with a new understanding. This episode is about humans colonizing Mars and the obstacles that future astronauts will have to face while inhabiting the red planet. I talk with Tirthak Saha, recently listed on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Engineering, where he discusses the research he has done on the subject. I also talk with Mark Anderson of the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society, where he discusses the winter night sky and what you might look forward to seeing in it.

Star*Quest Radio is a space podcast produced in collaboration with the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society, that aims to inspire people to look up at their local night-sky with a new understanding. This episode is about Halloween's history and how it is directly tied to the night sky. We also cover upcoming observations you can make in this midwest region's night sky.

ep02 Star*Quest Radio: Halloween Sky

This is a minisode that I put together to explain what Messier Numbers are, to dig into the M13: Hercules Globular Cluster, and even how comets are made and where they come from!

Ep01.5 Star*Quest Radio: Messier Minisode

Star*Quest Radio is a space podcast produced in collaboration with the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society, that aims to inspire people to look up at their local night-sky with a new understanding. This first episode is being released the night before Cassini takes its final plunge into Saturn's surface, so we decided to use it to deliver an overview of Cassini's mission. We talk to Mark Anderson, Director of the Star*Quest Observatory at the Fort Wayne Astronomical Society, in order to get an update on the goings on of Fort Wayne's Star*Quest Observatory, and what we might expect to see in the next month when we gaze up into our local night sky.
