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 for the uninitiated 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 June Sky due to be released in the next day or two.
We'll have a direct link from 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:

or Juice:

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.
