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. A podcast is an
Internet audio program you can listen to on your computer or portable audio
player (iPod). AaGG is free just like the vast majority of podcasts. Have a
listen, I'm sure you will agree that Alice Few does an excellent job at
producing AaGG. Look out for this month's Guided Tour of the Sky due to be
released in the next few days. We'll have a direct link from Skymaps.com
once it's out.

You can listen to the show online at the AaGG Web Site:

or subscribe using a free tool, such as iTunes:

The Evening Sky Map (TESM). Commencing with the January 2006 issue,
Individuals and Astronomy Education Groups wishing to distribute printed
handouts of TESM no longer need to submit a Copyright Permission Form for
non-commercial educational use.

Under the new Non-Commercial Educational Use policy, Individuals may make
and distribute up to 30 printed handouts of TESM each month for use by
their family or friends. Astronomy Education Groups may make and distribute
up to 300 copies of TESM each month for non-commercial educational use.

Individuals or Astronomy Education Groups wishing to make use of the new
policy must comply by the Terms of Use detailed at:
<http://www.skymaps.com/terms.html>

The new policy makes it quicker and easier for Astronomy-related groups and
educators to make timely use of The Evening Sky Map. Please contact me if
you have any questions or comments regarding the new policy.
