ASTRONOMY A GO-GO! PODCAST

AaGG is a weekly podcast that covers what you can see in the sky
for the month, astronomy news, astronomy how-to, music and more!
For the uninitiated, a podcast is an Internet audio program you
can listen to on your computer or portable audio player (iPod).
Like the vast majority of podcasts AaGG is free! Have a listen,
I'm sure you will agree that Alice Few does an excellent job at
producing AaGG each week. By the way, look out for the Guided
Tour of the May sky due to be released in the next day or two.
We'll have a direct link from http://Skymaps.com once it's out.
Highly recommended.

You can listen to the show online at the AaGG Web Site:
<http://astronomy.libsyn.com/>

or subscribe using a free tool, such as iTunes:

ASTRONOMY DAY -- SATURDAY, 6 MAY 2006

On Astronomy Day, thousands of people who have never looked
through a telescope will have an opportunity to see first hand
what has so many amateur and professional astronomers all
excited. Astronomy clubs, science museums, observatories,
universities, planetariums, laboratories, libraries, and nature
centers host special events and activities to acquaint their
communities with local astronomical resources and facilities.
